Brookfield Asset Management - Asia Pacific

Emerging markets and developing economies generate 72% of global emissions but receive less than 15% of global clean energy investment. With close to two thirds of the US$15 trillion of investment needed to transition these markets over the next decade having to come from the private sector, Brookfield’s Catalytic Transition Fund is helping accelerate the decarbonisation of chronically underinvested markets around Asia Pacific. Luke Edwards spoke with Giuseppe 'Joseph' Jacobelli岳启尧 on the The Asia Climate Finance Podcast about the energy transition in Asia and the significant investment opportunity it presents.

Brookfield wishes you and your family Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. 

At the Brookfield Forums in #Sydney and #Seoul, Brookfield’s leaders discussed the immense investment opportunities driven by the global megatrends of digitalisation, decarbonisation, deglobalisation and demographics. Co-Head of Real Estate in Australia Ruban Kaneshamoorthy, Senior Vice President, Strategic Initiatives for our Real Estate Group Leonie Wilkinson and Head of Real Estate in East Asia Andrew Burych discussed the opportunities we see across the APAC region in high-growth sectors including housing, office and logistics. APAC CEO Stewart Upson and CEO of our Data Center business Udhay Mathialagan unpacked the unprecedented demand for data centres and broader digital infrastructure being driven by AI. Head of Australian Renewable Power and Transition Luke Edwards and Senior Advisor Gayle Miller shared their views on the global energy transition and the corporate pull driving the unrelenting demand for clean power. Private Equity CEO Anuj Ranjan spoke about Brookfield’s owner operator heritage and the huge opportunity we see in capitalising on the next wave of the industrial transformation, to enhance business operations and margins. CEO Global Client Group (GCG) David Levi, CFA explained the significant growth of private credit and the unique benefits that specialised financing offers. In conversation with the Head of GCG APAC Sophie Fallman, Brookfield CEO Bruce Flatt shared his big picture view on the global economy, the markets and long-term investment opportunities. Thank you to our clients in Sydney and Seoul for attending. We look forward to continuing these conversations in May at the #Singapore and #Tokyo Forums. #BrookfieldForums

Corporate pull leads and policy changes won’t impact Brookfield’s long-term investment in the clean energy #transition given growing demand for reliable and affordable power. That’s the view shared by Brookfield’s Senior Adviser Gayle Miller and Head of Australia and New Zealand for Brookfield's Renewable Power and Transition Group Luke Edwards when they spoke to The Australian Financial Review. The power demands from #datacentres are also supporting our investment strategy for clean energy.

The Brookfield Women’s Network (BWN) Australia had the opportunity to hear from Gayle Miller, Senior Advisor to Brookfield as part of its global discussion series ‘If I could tell you just one thing’. The series is a platform for senior leaders to share their best career advice and reveal the one thing they would tell their younger selves.    As a thoughtful and well-respected voice on the global energy transition, Gayle spoke about her remarkable and diverse #career advising partners in both the public and private sectors on their transition to net zero. Gayle concluded the session with one lesson: “No one can make you feel insecure without your permission;” and one piece of advice: “Lean into your power.”

We hosted our clients in #Australia at Brookfield Place Sydney for our inaugural Brookfield Forum: Sydney.   Brookfield's regional and global leaders shared insights on key real estate trends, the global energy transition, the growth of AI and digital infrastructure, unlocking value in private equity, as well as the evolution and opportunity in private credit. In conversation with Head of Asia Pacific for Brookfield's Global Client Group Sophie Fallman, Brookfield CEO Bruce Flatt, also provided his views on the secular trends supporting long-term investment opportunities that will transcend near term movements and how Brookfield is best positioned to take advantage of these.   Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to continuing the series in #SouthKorea on Friday, and in #Singapore and #Tokyo in May. #BrookfieldForums
