Insights

Financial Analyst

Brookfield's Q1 delivers exceptional 26% FRE growth, underpinned by $140B capital raise and strategic expansion into credit markets.

Brookfield Asset Management delivered exceptional Q1 2025 results with Fee-Related Earnings surging 26% year-over-year to $698 million ($0.43 per share). This growth stems directly from over $140 billion in capital raised during the past twelve months, expanding their fee-bearing capital to $549 billion, a 20% increase from the previous year.

The firm's distributable earnings similarly grew by 20% to $654 million ($0.40 per share), while net income attributable to BAM jumped 32% to $581 million compared to Q1 2024. These metrics demonstrate exceptional momentum across all key financial indicators.

Brookfield's financial position remains robust with $119 billion in uncalled fund commitments, including $52 billion not currently earning fees but potentially generating approximately $520 million in annual fees once deployed - representing significant embedded growth for future periods.

The company bolstered its liquidity position in April through its inaugural bond offering of $750 million in 10-year senior unsecured notes at a 5.795% coupon, receiving strong credit ratings (A from Fitch, A- from S&P). With corporate liquidity reaching $1.4 billion (or $2.1 billion pro forma for the bond offering) as of March 31, 2025, the firm is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and strategic initiatives.

Alternative Investment Specialist

Brookfield's strategic positioning in AI, energy transition and private credit drives record fundraising and deployment across diversified alternatives.

Brookfield's impressive capital raising momentum continues with $25 billion raised in Q1 2025 alone, demonstrating strong investor confidence across multiple asset classes. The standout performance came from their real estate platform, securing $5.9 billion for their fifth flagship fund, bringing the total to approximately $16 billion - positioning it to become their largest real estate strategy ever.

The firm's capital deployment remains robust with $16 billion invested in Q1 across diverse sectors. Notable transactions include the completed privatization of Neoen (renewable energy), a signed agreement to acquire Colonial Pipeline for $3.4 billion equity ($9.0 billion enterprise value), and continued expansion in logistics and single-family rentals (real estate).

Strategically, Brookfield is expanding its credit capabilities through the acquisition of Angel Oak, a leading mortgage origination platform with $18 billion AUM, enhancing their structured residential credit offerings. Additionally, Brookfield increased its ownership in Oaktree by 1.5% to 74%, further strengthening its position in the alternative credit space.

With exposure to major investment megatrends (AI, energy transition, private credit) coupled with nearly $120 billion available to deploy, Brookfield is exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on current market opportunities. The company's focus on "essential infrastructure that deliver stable, long-duration and inflation-protected revenues that perform across market cycles" demonstrates strategic positioning for potentially volatile economic environments.

Quarterly Fee-Related Earnings up 26% Year-Over-Year to Nearly $700 Million

$25 Billion of Capital Raised in the Quarter and Over $140 Billion Raised in the Past Year

Closed $6 Billion in the First Quarter for Real Estate Flagship—Currently at $16 Billion; Now Set to Be Our Largest Real Estate Strategy

NEW YORK, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM) (“BAM”), a leading global alternative asset manager headquartered in New York with over $1 trillion of assets under management, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Connor Teskey, President of Brookfield Asset Management, stated, “Our earnings momentum continued as we had another strong quarter to start the year. Fee-related earnings grew 26% year-over-year, driven by more than $140 billion of capital raised over the past twelve months. The strength in real estate was remarkable, with $6 billion of inflows to our flagship strategy which, already at $16 billion, is now set to be our largest real estate strategy ever raised. We grew our leading private credit platform by expanding our capabilities and deepening partnerships to better serve our clients.”

He continued, “Meanwhile, our business continues to benefit from deep exposure to the world’s investment megatrends of artificial intelligence, energy transition and growth in private credit. Our business is built for this environment, and we are very active. Recent macro uncertainty has underscored the growing appeal of private assets, especially those focused on essential infrastructure that deliver stable, long-duration and inflation-protected revenues that perform across market cycles. With nearly $120 billion of capital available to deploy, we are well-positioned to invest through this cycle and deliver compelling long-term value for our clients.”

Operating Results

Fee-related earnings, or FRE, increased by 26% to $698 million or $0.43 per share compared to the prior year period largely due to over $140 billion of inflows over the past twelve months.

Operating Highlights

Financial Results

Fee-bearing capital reached $549 billion at the end of the first quarter, up $90 billion or 20% over the last twelve months.

In the quarter, fee-bearing capital benefited from successful fundraising efforts, notably a large close for the fifth vintage of our real estate flagship fund and strong insurance capital inflows along with meaningful capital deployments across our credit franchise. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the stock prices of our listed affiliates.

On the back of this growth in fee-bearing capital, fee-related earnings were a record $698 million ($0.43 / share) for the quarter and $2.6 billion ($1.60 / share) over the last twelve months, up 26% and 16% over the same periods in the prior year, respectively.

Distributable earnings were $654 million ($0.40 / share) for the quarter and $2.5 billion ($1.51 / share) over the last twelve months, up 20% and 11% over the same periods in the prior year, respectively.

Fundraising

We raised $25 billion in the first quarter of 2025 across our flagship and complementary strategies, as well as through our insurance solutions platform and partner managers.

Notable fundraising updates for the quarter include:

• In renewable power and transition, we raised $1.5 billion of capital, including $700 million for the second vintage of our global transition flagship fund strategy, bringing the capital raised to date for the strategy to over $14 billion. We expect to hold a final close for this flagship in the coming months.
  
  
• In infrastructure, we raised $800 million of capital, including over $500 million raised for our private wealth infrastructure fund. Additionally, we held the final close for our inaugural infrastructure structured solutions fund of $300 million, which in total raised approximately $1.0 billion of capital commitments.
  
  
• In private equity, we raised $1.2 billion of capital, including $300 million in our secondaries business for growth and venture investments.
   
• In real estate, we raised $7.1 billion of capital, including $5.9 billion for the fifth vintage of our real estate flagship fund, bringing the total strategy size to approximately $16 billion. With final closings from clients in wealth and regional sleeves still ahead, this will be our largest real estate strategy ever raised.
  
  
• In credit, we raised $14 billion of capital, including $6.7 billion from insurance accounts. We completed a final close on the twelfth vintage of our opportunistic credit flagship fund, bringing the total capital raised for the strategy to $16 billion. This is on par with our largest opportunistic credit strategy.

Notable Transactions

We deployed $16 billion of capital in the first quarter of 2025. Recent notable deployments and commitments include:

• In renewable power and transition, we deployed $3.5 billion of capital, including the completion of our privatization of Neoen, a leading, global renewable development business. In addition, in the quarter we committed $1.2 billion toward the acquisition of the U.S. renewables business of National Grid. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025.
   
• In infrastructure, we deployed approximately $500 million of capital. In addition, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we signed an agreement to acquire the midstream asset portfolio of Colonial Enterprises for $3.4 billion of equity capital ($9.0 billion of enterprise value). The portfolio includes the Colonial Pipeline, the largest refined products pipeline in the U.S. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2025.
   
• In private equity, we deployed $1.1 billion of capital, including the acquisition of Chemelex, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of electric heat trace systems. In addition, we committed over $800 million toward the acquisition of Antylia Scientific, a leading manufacturer and distributor of specialty consumable products and testing equipment used in quality control and research applications. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025.
   
• In real estate, we deployed $1.8 billion of capital, including into global logistics platforms within North America, Europe and Asia. In addition, we invested over $100 million of equity capital into a portfolio of U.S. single-family rental properties, spanning nearly 3,800 homes.
   
• In credit, we deployed $9.2 billion of capital, including $2.3 billion out of our opportunistic credit flagship strategy, and $1.3 billion across our other credit partner managers.

We monetized approximately $10 billion of capital in the quarter. Recent notable sales include:

• In renewable power & transition, we monetized over $600 million of equity capital. In addition, we signed an agreement to sell an additional 25% of our ownership in a U.S. wind project for $200 million ($1.8 billion of enterprise value). The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025. 
   
• In infrastructure, we monetized over $1.0 billion of equity capital, including from the sale of two Mexican regulated natural gas transmission pipelines. In addition, we signed an agreement to sell our remaining 25% interest in Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America’s U.S. natural gas pipeline for $400 million ($5.6 billion of enterprise value).

Uncalled Fund Commitments and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2025, we had a total of $119 billion of uncalled fund commitments.

• Uncalled fund commitments include $52 billion which is not currently earning fees but will earn approximately $520 million of fees annually once deployed.

In April, we completed our inaugural bond offering, bolstering our liquidity position and providing us with additional flexibility to continue investing in our business.

• We issued $750 million of new, 10-year senior unsecured notes with a coupon of 5.795%. In connection with the offering, we received an “A” credit rating from Fitch and “A-“ from S&P.

We had corporate liquidity of $1.4 billion (or $2.1 billion pro forma for our bond offering) on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, comprised of cash, short term financial assets, and the undrawn capacity on our revolving credit.

Recent Strategic Transactions and Corporate Announcements
We recently completed several initiatives to expand our partnerships and enhance our credit capabilities, each in order to complement our existing direct investment capabilities:

• Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we announced an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Angel Oak, a leading origination platform and asset manager delivering innovative mortgage and consumer products with over $18 billion in assets under management. Angel Oak brings deep origination strength, a vertically integrated model, and a decade-long track record in structured residential credit. Angel Oak’s platform enhances our capabilities in the fast-growing U.S. mortgage credit market and complements our broader credit offering. We expect to close this transaction over the next few months.
  
  
• We increased our ownership interest in Oaktree by 1.5%, bringing our total stake to 74%.

Non-GAAP and Performance Measures of our Asset Management Business

This news release and accompanying financial information are based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

We make reference to Distributable Earnings (“DE”), which is referring to the sum of its fee-related earnings, realized carried interest, realized principal investments, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses; excluding equity-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization. The most directly comparable measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of Brookfield Asset Management for DE is net income. This provides insight into earnings received by the company that are available for distribution to common shareholders or to be reinvested into the business.

We use Fee-Related Earnings (“FRE”) and DE to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield’s business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find these measures of value to them.

We disclose a number of financial measures in this news release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial measures, which include FRE and DE, should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures or other financial metrics are not standardized under U.S. GAAP and may differ from the financial measures or other financial metrics disclosed by other businesses and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities.

We provide additional information on key terms and non-GAAP measures in our filings available at bam.brookfield.com.
