Brookfield Investment Thesis

Brookfield Methodology

Brookfield Asset Management always operates in a methodology where we're trying to walk away from the cliff, look for opportunities away from where the crowd is going, and not go with the crowd. In real asset investing, that's a vital lesson to learn.

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.
