IN PROFILE
Brookfield is a leading global alternative asset manager, distinguished by a
100-year history of owning and operating real assets, which offer investors
favorable long-term, risk-adjusted returns. Today, Brookfield manages
approximately $200 billion of assets for our own account and on behalf of our
clients.
Brookfield Private Funds offers investment strategies in areas where we believe
we possess competitive advantages, including property, infrastructure, private
equity, and timberlands and agriculture. Our global reach enables us
to identify and acquire high-quality assets, and our long history of strategic,
deep-value investing, disciplined management and conservative financing has
been central to our investment approach.
We leverage our leading operating platforms to enhance the cash flows
and values of the assets in which we invest. Our focus is on operational
improvements, such as repositioning a commercial property, enhancing the
management of an infrastructure asset or restructuring an operating company.
“Brookfield’s distinct competitive advantage is our
ability to leverage our global operating platforms
to successfully invest in real assets and deliver our
clients strong risk-adjusted returns.”

PRIVATE EQUITY
Brookfield has over 20 years of private equity investing experience and has
demonstrated the ability to successfully deploy significant capital over a number
of market cycles. We often approach investing from a contrarian perspective,
targeting out-of-favor sectors, and leveraging the knowledge base across our real
assets and related operating platforms to source proprietary transactions and
develop underwriting theses.
We seek to invest in high-quality assets in industries where we believe we
have a competitive or informational advantage. Target opportunities include
investments in businesses that are low cost producers or benefit from high
barriers to entry, and in many cases have tangible underlying assets. Our
contrarian approach to investing looks to source transactions in out-of-favor
sectors and utilize our industry-recognized leadership in distressed investing and
restructurings.
Post-acquisition, we seek to deploy an active management approach focused on
strategic, operational and/or financial improvements.

TIMBERLANDS & AGRICULTURE
Brookfield has more than three decades of experience directly owning, managing
and financing timberlands and paper and forest product companies in North and
South America, as well as agricultural land in Brazil.
We are one of the largest timberlands investment managers globally by value.
We have a track record for sustainably managing our timberlands portfolio, which
is comprised of approximately 3.8 million acres of timberlands. We believe
that our timber operations have a number of attractive attributes, including
scarce, high-value, premium assets, a diversified product mix, well-established
infrastructure, and excellent market access. These attributes, together with
favorable industry dynamics, provide for a high margin business with sustainable
cash flows.
Our agriculture portfolio is comprised of approximately 600,000 acres of prime
agricultural land in Brazil, producing crops such as sugarcane, soybeans, corn and
sorghum. We believe that our agriculture operations have compelling investment
characteristics, including world-class productivity levels, good climate conditions
and logistics that combine for long-term value creation.
