• Record quarterly performance: Fee-related earnings rose 20% year over year to $808 million, distributable earnings increased 15% to $707 million, and fee-bearing capital reached $672 billion, up 19% over the past 12 months.
• 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. Brookfield says it is mitigating these risks by focusing on projects backed by hard assets, strong counterparties, and long-term contracted cash flows rather than speculative development.
