Brookfield Completes
Acquisition of Oaktree

 

Acquisition strengthens
$365B credit platform, bringing together Oaktree’s cycle-tested expertise with Brookfield’s scale and reach

 

NEW YORK –
August 3, 2026 – Brookfield today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Oaktree, one of the world’s premier
credit managers. The transaction marks the next step in a partnership that began in 2019 and fully brings together the Oaktree and Brookfield
platforms. With the addition of Oaktree, Brookfield’s global credit platform offers a broad range of solutions across opportunistic
credit, real asset credit, asset-backed finance and corporate performing credit to institutions, financial advisors and individuals.

 

Connor Teskey,
CEO of Brookfield Asset Management, said, “Brookfield has been a leading alternative asset investor for decades and over the past
20 years has built a credit business to complement its global real asset platforms. Adding the Oaktree franchise has further strengthened
our ability to invest across market cycles and opportunity sets, enhanced by Oaktree’s track record and underwriting capabilities.
We look forward to building on their strong track record and deep expertise as we continue to grow our credit business globally.”

 

Bob O’Leary
and Armen Panossian, Co-CEOs of Brookfield’s Credit Group, said, “Brookfield and Oaktree’s partnership over the past
seven years has been built on a shared commitment to disciplined investing and a long-term perspective. This next step allows us to build
on that foundation and continue delivering strong outcomes for our clients.”

 

Howard Marks will
be Co-Chair of Oaktree, in addition to his role as a Director of Brookfield Corporation, and Chair of Brookfield’s Investment Solutions
Group. Bruce Karsh will also be Co-Chair of Oaktree in addition to being Oaktree’s Chief Investment Officer and portfolio manager
for Oaktree’s Global Opportunities and Global Credit strategies.

 

With the acquisition
of Oaktree, the U.S. becomes Brookfield Asset Management’s largest market. It is now home to over 60% of Brookfield Asset Management's
employee base and the source of nearly half of its revenue. It further deepens Brookfield’s long-standing presence in the country
and reinforces its commitment to investing in the U.S. economy. At the same time, Oaktree's global investment platform and presence in
18 countries broadens the reach of Brookfield's credit business, strengthening its ability to serve clients and deploy capital worldwide.
