• Brookfield raised a record $77 billion in the second quarter, including a $40 billion Just Group mandate that increased insurance capital under management by more than one-third. Management expects 2026 fundraising to substantially exceed prior records, supported by flagship, complementary, debt, and insurance channels.
• The completed Oaktree acquisition is expected to expand distribution, product development, and multi-asset opportunities while creating operating leverage; Brookfield also expects Oaktree’s next flagship opportunity-focused credit fund to be marketed in 2027.
• AI infrastructure is a major growth focus, with Brookfield’s dedicated fund targeting $10 billion while potentially supporting roughly $100 billion of investments. Management highlighted partnerships with Nvidia, Bloom Energy, hyperscalers, and governments, including a Kentucky AI campus that could attract up to $100 billion of private investment.
• Oaktree’s consolidation will reduce reported corporate margins because of business mix, and management acknowledged competition and concerns about overbuilding in AI infrastructure.
