Brookfield Corporation’s investment offerings are delivered principally through Brookfield Asset Management (BAM), which offers private funds, permanent-capital vehicles, perpetual strategies and liquid strategies across renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate and credit. BAM reported more than $1 trillion in AUM at December 31, 2025. Brookfield’s real-estate fund investments cover logistics, multifamily, hospitality, office, retail, triple-net lease, self-storage, student and manufactured housing. [10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064520)[11](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064521)[12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064525)

Its operating businesses provide energy and infrastructure capabilities, including hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar and distributed energy, as well as assets in utilities, transport, midstream and data. Brookfield also holds arrangements to purchase power from certain North American hydro assets at fixed prices and resell it on contracted or uncontracted terms. In 2026, it described an expanded framework with Bloom Energy for up to $25 billion of behind-the-meter fuel-cell projects for data centers. [13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064551)[14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064552)[15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P156043333) Its private-equity business owns and operates companies in business services and industrials, while its real-estate platform invests in and operates office, retail and residential properties, including land development and homebuilding. [16](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064553)[17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064555)[18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137064556)

Through Brookfield Wealth Solutions and its insurance subsidiaries, offerings include retirement services, wealth-protection products and capital solutions.

## Geographic presence

Brookfield reports operations in more than 50 countries across five continents, with approximately 250,000 operating employees and more than 5,800 investment and asset-management professionals and employees. The operating workforce is not broken down by country in the cited reporting. [32](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137065507) The jurisdictions named for its asset-management business include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Brazil, Colombia, Australia, India and South Korea. [33](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137060735)

The United States is Brookfield’s largest and fastest-growing market; in its Q2 2026 reporting, the company said more than 60% of its investment and asset-management employees were based there. [34](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P156043324) Its registered office is in Toronto, Canada, and its listed main offices are in New York, Toronto, London and Sydney. [35](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137061162)[36](https://www.brookfield.com/contact-us)

A 2025 property, plant and equipment fair-value table provides geographic amounts, in US$ millions, for North America ($37,237), Colombia ($15,219), Brazil ($4,607), Europe ($7,370) and Australia ($5,119). These figures relate to that table’s PP&E disclosure, not to Brookfield’s total assets or revenue by geography. [37](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T15697637)

## Business segments

Brookfield presents its activities through three core businesses—Asset Management, Wealth Solutions and Operating Businesses—with the operating businesses reported across Renewable Power and Transition, Infrastructure, Private Equity and Real Estate. The company also reports corporate costs and other items. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137059430)[38](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137135893)

Asset Management is a global alternative asset manager investing across real assets and essential-service businesses, including renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate and credit. [4](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137059479) Wealth Solutions originates insurance liabilities and invests assets suited to those liabilities, including through annuities and pension-risk-transfer products. [39](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137060101)[40](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137060108)[41](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137060111) The operating segments cover renewable generation such as hydro, wind and solar; infrastructure including utilities, transport, midstream and data; business and industrial services; and real estate strategies spanning super-core, core-plus, value-add and opportunistic investments. [42](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T15697250)[43](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137061736)[44](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T15697255)[38](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137135893)[45](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P137061888)

As an approximate measure of contribution, FY2025 distributable earnings before realizations were $5.386 billion. Asset Management contributed about 51.4% and Wealth Solutions about 31.0%; the Operating Businesses subtotal contributed about 29.7%, comprising Renewable Power and Transition (BEP) 8.4%, Infrastructure (BIP) 6.6%, Private Equity (BBU) 0.4%, Real Estate (BPG) 13.7%, and Other 0.6%. Corporate costs and other were negative 12.1%. These are shares of distributable earnings before realizations, not revenue shares; percentages are approximate. [46](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T15703448) Brookfield uses different performance measures across its businesses, so these figures should be read as a contribution view rather than a uniform segment-profit measure.

## Company history

Brookfield traces its roots to 1899, when Canadian investors founded São Paulo Tramway, Light & Power Co. in Brazil. Its investment-business lineage also includes an investment company established by Peter Bronfman in 1954, which shifted its focus to real assets in 1964. [9](https://history.brookfield.com/history/)[48](https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/home/record?app=fonandcol&idnumber=106761) The present corporation was formed by amalgamation in 1997. [49](https://bn.brookfield.com/share-information/brookfield-security-history)

Brookfield expanded its U.S. real-estate holdings in 1996 by acquiring major properties from Olympia & York, including the World Financial Center. It launched its first private-equity fund in 2001 and entered European commercial real estate in 2003 through a stake in Canary Wharf. [9](https://history.brookfield.com/history/) Bruce Flatt became CEO in 2002. [50](https://privatewealth.brookfield.com/leadership/bruce-flatt) The company, then known as Brascan, changed its name to Brookfield Asset Management Inc. in 2005. [51](https://bnt.brookfield.com/sites/brookfield-bn-v2/files/brookfield-bn/governance/governance-documents/articles/2005-11-10-articles-of-amendment.pdf)

In 2013, Brookfield spun off Brookfield Property Partners, transferring substantially all of its commercial-property operations to the new entity. [52](https://bn.brookfield.com/press-releases/brookfield-asset-management-completes-spin-brookfield-property-partners) In December 2022, it completed the distribution of a 25% interest in its asset-management business to shareholders; the parent became Brookfield Corporation, while the separate manager was named Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.
