Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. reported record third‑quarter 2025 results, delivering a net income of $724 million and fee‑related earnings of $754 million, a 19% year‑over‑year increase that reflects the firm’s continued ability to generate high‑margin fee income across its infrastructure, renewable, and credit platforms.
The company’s fee‑bearing capital rose to $581 billion, up 8% from the prior year, while distributable earnings reached $661 million, up 7% YoY. Distributable earnings per share of $0.41 beat the consensus estimate of $0.40, a $0.01 per‑share beat that underscores disciplined cost management and a favorable mix of high‑margin assets.
Revenue for the quarter was $1.39 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.35 billion. The lift was driven by strong demand in the infrastructure and renewable segments, which offset a modest decline in the credit platform’s fee‑related earnings. The company’s fee‑related earnings margin expanded to 58% in the quarter, up from 57% over the last twelve months, reflecting pricing power and operational leverage.
Brookfield raised $30 billion in capital during the quarter and $100 billion over the year, a record for the firm. Deployments totaled $23 billion, and monetizations of $15 billion generated an equivalent amount of equity value, demonstrating the firm’s ability to convert assets into shareholder value efficiently.
Corporate liquidity stood at $2.6 billion, including $1.5 billion in cash and short‑term assets. The company increased its revolver capacity by $300 million, bringing total revolving credit to $1 billion, and issued $750 million of 30‑year senior unsecured notes at a 6.077% coupon, providing long‑term funding flexibility.
Brookfield declared a quarterly dividend of $0.4375 per share, payable on December 31 2025, and reaffirmed its commitment to returning value to shareholders while maintaining a robust capital structure.
Management highlighted the record fundraising and deployment figures as evidence of strong investor demand for its real‑asset strategies. President Connor Teskey said, “We delivered strong results this quarter, highlighted by records in both capital raising of $30 billion and deployment of $23 billion, driving earnings to an all‑time high for our business. We also realized record monetizations of $15 billion, underscoring the strength of our platform across a broad range of strategies.”
The firm also announced an agreement to acquire the remaining 26% interest in Oaktree for approximately $3 billion, a move that will create a fully integrated global credit platform and deepen synergies across its portfolio. In addition, Brookfield entered a $5 billion partnership with Bloom Energy for an AI infrastructure fund and closed its Global Transition Fund II, a $20 billion clean‑energy transition vehicle, further diversifying its growth avenues.
Market reaction to the results was positive, with the stock rising 1.4% after the announcement. Investors were encouraged by the earnings beat, record fundraising, and the strategic Oaktree acquisition, all of which signal confidence in Brookfield’s long‑term growth trajectory.
The results reinforce Brookfield’s trajectory of robust capital raising and deployment, positioning it to continue expanding fee‑bearing capital and generating high‑quality returns for investors. The record fundraising and deployment figures, coupled with margin expansion and a strong liquidity position, provide a solid foundation for future growth and shareholder value creation.
The company’s performance in Q3 2025 also highlights its ability to navigate a complex market environment, balancing disciplined cost control with strategic investments in high‑growth areas such as AI infrastructure and clean‑energy transition, thereby sustaining its competitive advantage in the alternative‑asset space.
