Long-term alternative asset management for institutions and family offices.
Brookfield Asset Management is one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world, with over $1 trillion in assets under management and a presence across more than 50 countries. For family offices evaluating an alternatives manager, Brookfield's scale is both its defining characteristic and its primary pitch: the firm argues that its global operating footprint generates proprietary deal flow and operational insight that smaller managers cannot replicate.
Brookfield explicitly identifies family offices as a distinct client segment under its institutional channel, positioning its investment strategies alongside those offered to sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, and endowments. Its asset class coverage across the alternatives spectrum is broad:
The firm operates a Wealth Solutions business that targets individual and institutional clients seeking structured income products, which may be relevant to family offices with liability-matching or retirement planning mandates. Brookfield also publishes regular market commentary and investment outlooks, which some investment teams use to inform allocation decisions.
For a family office, the key trade-off is selectivity. Brookfield manages capital at institutional scale and is unlikely to offer bespoke structuring or co-investment terms to smaller allocators. Minimum investment thresholds, fund terms, and fee structures are not publicly disclosed. Family offices seeking a highly customised or direct co-investment relationship may find that Brookfield's institutional model limits flexibility compared to smaller, relationship-driven alternatives managers.
We bring an ownership mindset to everything we do, focusing on long-term wealth creation for institutions and individuals.
