Brookfield's private equity interests are diverse, encompassing key sectors such as Business Services (including infrastructure, healthcare, road fuel distribution and marketing, construction, and real estate), Industrials (like manufacturers of automotive batteries, graphite electrodes, and returnable plastic packaging, alongside sanitation management), and Residential/Infrastructure Services. The company primarily seeks out businesses that possess significant underlying real assets across industries such as industrial products, building materials, metals, mining, homebuilding, oil and gas, paper and packaging, manufacturing, and forest products. Beyond private investments, it actively participates in public debt and equity markets.
