Our Philosophy
We invest in public credit exposures across Brookfield’s sectors of expertise: real estate, infrastructure and natural resources. We find this approach gives us a competitive advantage, enabling us to offer benefits to investors that include attractive risk-adjusted returns and lower defaults than the broader market.
We believe prioritizing income and capital preservation has the potential to generate above-market, risk-adjusted returns over a full credit cycle. We aim to deliver attractive and consistent risk-adjusted returns with capital preservation and lower-than-average volatility.
Customized Real Asset Debt Capabilities
We customize strategies to meet specific client portfolio objectives.
Portfolio Manager Q&A
We discussed why institutional investors should consider adding a high-yield portfolio allocation focused on real assets, what sets our approach apart, and more.
Our Process
We employ rigorous credit analysis to determine our credit and sector allocations and select securities. We screen the debt issues of real estate, infrastructure and natural resource companies—companies with tangible underlying assets—for trading liquidity, income and total return potential. We strive to build portfolios based on investment conviction and the relative attractiveness of individual issues, with our views on relative values and broad market themes informing our portfolio positioning.
