News Explained

BAM added $1.0 billion of issued senior debt in the second quarter, while two July acquisitions remain pending later-year closing.

During the quarter, Brookfield Asset Management issued $1.0 billion of senior notes, creating committed corporate debt consisting of $550 million due in five years and $450 million due in ten years.

The notes are senior unsecured obligations, with coupons of 4.832% and 5.298%, respectively; unlike an authorization, this disclosure states that the debt was issued during the quarter.

In July, the company committed approximately $3.0 billion to acquire North America’s largest standalone energy-storage business, but says that transaction is expected to close later this year.

The company also signed an agreement to acquire the world’s largest air-freight services provider, with closing likewise expected later this year; the stated closing milestones are the points at which those acquisitions’ completion status can be reassessed.

Key Terms

fee-related earnings, distributable earnings, fee-bearing capital, uncalled fund commitments, +1 more
5 terms
distributable earnings financial
"Quarterly Distributable Earnings of $707 Million"
Distributable earnings are the portion of a company’s reported profits that management determines is safe to pay out to shareholders after accounting for cash needs, required reserves, and non-cash bookkeeping items. Think of it like the money left in your household budget after paying bills and putting aside savings — it shows what can realistically be handed out as dividends or distributions and helps investors judge how sustainable and reliable future payouts may be.
fee-bearing capital financial
"fee-bearing capital reached $672 billion"
Fee-bearing capital is the amount of money a firm manages or oversees that generates direct fees — such as management, advisory, or performance fees — for the firm. For investors, it matters because this capital is the primary source of predictable revenue and profit; like rented property producing regular rent, more fee-bearing capital typically means steadier cash flow and higher potential valuation for a financial firm.
uncalled fund commitments financial
"Uncalled Fund Commitments and Liquidity"
Capital that investors have legally promised to a private investment fund but have not yet been asked to deliver; the fund manager will “call” these commitments over time to pay for investments, fees, or expenses. It matters to investors because it represents money they may need to provide in the future, affecting personal or institutional cash planning and the fund’s ability to make new investments—like a standing credit line that will be drawn down as opportunities arise.
senior unsecured notes financial
"$550 million of five-year senior unsecured notes"
Senior unsecured notes are a type of loan a company borrows from investors, promising to pay back with interest. They are called "unsecured" because they aren’t backed by specific assets like buildings or equipment, but "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company gets into trouble. Investors see them as a relatively safer way for companies to raise money.

NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2026 (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 June 30, 2026.

Operating Results

Fee-bearing capital grew to $672 billion, up 19% year-over-year, as a result of $163 billion of fundraising in the past twelve months. Our second quarter fundraising of $77 billion was driven by flagship strategies and a large investment management mandate. The seventh vintage of our private equity flagship strategy raised $6.7 billion and the sixth vintage of our infrastructure flagship strategy raised $9.3 billion. Both funds are on track to be the largest vintage of their respective strategy.

A growing set of strong investment opportunities continued to support robust capital deployment, with $21 billion invested across our business during the quarter. We also monetized $11 billion in the quarter from the sale of high quality assets at attractive valuations and advanced several other monetization transactions.

Highlights of our activities across each of our business groups in the second quarter include:

Infrastructure

  • Fundraising: We raised $10 billion, including $7.9 billion for our infrastructure flagship strategy, $900 million for our supercore infrastructure strategy, and $900 million for our infrastructure private wealth strategy. The flagship is targeting its first close this year, with additional closes expected thereafter. In addition, we held a first close in our AI infrastructure strategy, bringing total commitments to date to $5 billion.
  • Deployment: We deployed $3.3 billion, including $1.7 billion for the acquisition of a leading U.S. fiber to the home business and a $1.0 billion investment for incremental funding on construction of a U.S. semiconductor fabrication facility.
  • Monetization: In July, we monetized a portion of our investment in a leading data center infrastructure platform through its IPO, raising over $1 billion in proceeds.

Energy

  • Fundraising: We raised $2.5 billion, including $1.4 billion for our infrastructure flagship strategy.
  • Deployment: We deployed $1.0 billion across several renewable investments. In July, we also committed approximately $3.0 billion to acquire the largest standalone energy storage business in North America expected to close later this year.

Private Equity

  • Fundraising: We raised $8.6 billion, primarily driven by $6.7 billion for our private equity flagship strategy and capital raised for the Middle East private equity and financial infrastructure strategies.
  • Deployment: We deployed $1.4 billion and signed an agreement to acquire the world’s largest air freight services provider, which is expected to close later this year.
  • Monetization: We signed an agreement to sell our investment in a specialized engineering firm, and subsequent to the end of the quarter, we sold a stake in a leading alternative asset manager in Australia.

Real Estate

  • Fundraising: We raised $4.3 billion across our real estate strategies, including nearly $700 million for the geographic sleeves of our flagship strategy and $3.0 billion from separately managed accounts and co-investment.
  • Deployment: We deployed $5.2 billion, including the acquisition of the largest privately held U.S. manufactured home portfolio and the take-private of a publicly-traded outdoor industrial storage portfolio.

Credit

  • Fundraising: We raised $51 billion of capital, including $45 billion from Brookfield Wealth Solutions, inclusive of the $40 billion Just Group mandate. We also raised $6.0 billion across Oaktree and our other partner managers and approximately $600 million for our infrastructure debt strategy.
  • Deployment: We deployed $10 billion, across our credit strategies, including $1.9 billion for opportunistic credit strategies. In July, we announced an investment in a Middle Eastern pipeline company for $3.0 billion.

Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships

This year, we continued to advance a number of strategic initiatives that strengthen our competitive position, expand our distribution capabilities and reinforce our leadership across AI infrastructure, power and private markets.

  • In July, completed our acquisition of Oaktree, marking the next step in a partnership that began in 2019 and fully integrating Oaktree into Brookfield’s broader platform.
  • Formed a strategic partnership with OpenAI to accelerate enterprise AI adoption by deploying its technology and engineering capabilities across our industrial and manufacturing businesses.
  • Expanded our strategic partnership with Bloom Energy from $5 billion to $25 billion to finance rapidly deployable power solutions for AI infrastructure.
  • Announced a strategic partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to accelerate the deployment of Westinghouse nuclear reactor technology, supported by funding of $17.5 billion from the DOE.
  • Expanded our AI infrastructure framework agreement with the French government from €20 billion to €30 billion to enable sovereign AI infrastructure.
  • Announced a partnership with two global technology leaders to invest in AI cloud infrastructure that will expand Korea’s sovereign AI factory infrastructure and power AI companies in Korea and the U.S.
  • Selected as AllianceBernstein’s partner to distribute our real asset strategies through target-date funds, further enhancing our presence in the U.S. defined contribution market.
  • In July, announced a $100 billion plan to develop an AI data center campus at the U.S. DOE’s Paducah, Kentucky site, in partnership with a leading North American energy company.
  • Repurchased $200 million of BAM shares during the quarter.

Uncalled Fund Commitments and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2026, we had $149 billion of uncalled fund commitments, $68 billion of which will generate approximately $680 million of annual fees once deployed. We had corporate liquidity of $3.1 billion as of June 30, 2026, comprised of cash reserved for the purchase of Oaktree, short term financial assets, and undrawn capacity on our revolving credit facility.

During the quarter, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes, comprised of $550 million of five-year senior unsecured notes with a coupon of 4.832% and $450 million of ten-year senior unsecured notes with a coupon of 5.298%.

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.
