History and when Brookfield Corp was created
Brookfield Corp was founded in 1899 in Canada, originally under the name Brascan (Brazil + Canada), created to manage electric-power assets and public-utility services in emerging markets, with initial focus on Brazil and Canada.
In its early years, the company worked primarily in the construction and operation of power-generation and distribution systems. Throughout the 20th century, it expanded into infrastructure and commercial properties, following patterns of urbanization and industrial development in multiple countries.
Beginning in the 1990s, the company undertook an extensive corporate-restructuring process, expanding its portfolio into alternative investments, including private equity and global real-estate assets. In 2005, it formally adopted the name Brookfield Asset Management, reflecting its evolution into a multi-line asset manager.
The company’s initial public offering (IPO) occurred early in the 20th century in the Canadian market, later expanding to international listings that allowed global investors access to its growing portfolio.
Major milestones include its expansion into global-infrastructure sectors starting in 2008, the creation of its publicly listed investment platforms (BEP, BIP, BBU, and BAM), and the corporate reorganization completed in 2022, which established the current structure: Brookfield Corp (BN) as the primary holding company and Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) as a separately listed manager.
Between 2020 and 2024, Brookfield intensified investments in renewable energy, data centers, clean-technology assets, and digital infrastructure. The period was marked by global acquisitions, expansion of institutional funds, and the strengthening of energy-transition and sustainability strategies. The company remains one of the world’s largest alternative-asset managers, with a focus on real assets and long-term growth.
