"Brookfield deployed $53 billion in Q1 while raising $67 billion in new capital, demonstrating strong execution across digitalization, decarbonization, and deglobalization themes.

Executive Summary
Brookfield delivered strong Q1 2026 results across all operations, raising $67 billion including $23 billion for investment strategies and $44 billion of insurance capital. The firm invested $53 billion and repurchased over $1 billion in shares while maintaining almost $200 billion in deployable capital. CEO Bruce Flatt emphasizes three dominant investment themes driving long-term infrastructure demand: digitalization creating AI factories and data sovereignty requirements, decarbonization evolving into energy addition with rapidly growing electricity demand, and deglobalization accelerating supply chain regionalization. Brookfield's Watch-Learn-Invest-Perfect-Scale methodology has built global leadership positions across data centers, renewable energy, and essential infrastructure. In private credit, the firm maintains disciplined underwriting with no material software exposure, positioning favorably amid current market concerns. The planned combination of Brookfield Corporation and Wealth Solutions will create a fully-integrated insurance and investment organization with access to $145 billion in additional permanent capital. Management remains focused on generating increased cash flows per share and compounding long-term value through quality asset ownership and operational excellence.
