Bruce Flatt: "... I would say to anyone that there's never a right strategy in investing. It's whatever strategy fits you and what you want to do."Brookfield Investment Methodology

There are four Investing Principles we follow:
- Invest where we possess competitive advantages.
- Acquire assets on a value basis to maximize return on capital.
- Find assets with inherent cash flow (today or soon) and build sustainable cash flows to provide certainty, reduce risk and lower the cost of capital.
- Recognize that superior returns often require contrarian/go against current practice thinking.
