History and Development
Founded in 1899 in Canada, Brookfield’s origins are tied to infrastructure and utility development.
Over time, the company expanded into global real estate and alternative investments. A major strategic shift occurred when it evolved into a diversified asset manager, later adopting the Brookfield Asset Management name.
More recently, a corporate reorganization separated the asset management business from the holding company structure, establishing Brookfield Corporation (BN) as the parent entity.
In recent years, Brookfield has expanded investments in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and institutional private markets, reinforcing its position as a leading global alternative asset manager.
