“We expect 2026 to be a very strong year, with growth exceeding our long-term targets. We are also benefitting from both the acquisition of Oaktree and the recently awarded Just Group investment mandate, which started in the second quarter,” said Connor Teskey, chief executive of Brookfield.
We are off to a strong start for the year, with first quarter fee-related earnings growing 11 per cent to $772m, supported by our strength in real assets and our complementary strategies currently in the market. Our leading positions in infrastructure, energy, real estate, and essential services-focused private equity are well suited to this environment and enable us to deliver strong performance and outsized growth,” he added.

“We have significant capital available to deploy as opportunities emerge, market leading positions in the fastest growing alternatives segments, and limited exposure to areas of market stress. The full integration of Oaktree’s preeminent opportunistic credit franchise, coupled with our disciplined investment approach, positions us well to capitalize on any dislocation in credit markets.”
The board of directors of BAM declared a quarterly dividend of $0.5025 per share, payable on June 30 2026.
