CluenexBrookfield Asset Management BAM
Brookfield Asset Management scores excellent on business quality (8.7 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Brookfield Asset Management does
Brookfield Asset Management earns management and fee-related revenues by running alternative investment strategies for institutional clients across renewable power, infrastructure, and private equity.
- What it does best
Brookfield excels at converting fee-bearing capital into cash earnings, delivering an operating margin of 63.7% that outpaces peers like KKR at 8.8%. This scale creates deep institutional relationships that are hard to replicate.
- The main risk
Interest rate volatility threatens the dividend sell-off dynamic highlighted in recent market headlines, pressuring equity valuations and potentially slowing capital inflows if yields spike.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margins hit 63.7% backed by a 50.0% net margin, showing exceptional profitability that expands efficiently as new fee-bearing capital comes online.
The firm's moat rests on institutional client lock-in, supported by a return on equity of 33.6% that places it in the top decile of its sector. Switching costs for long-term infrastructure funds are immense.
Revenue growth surged to 8.7% over the trailing period, accelerating dramatically from historical levels as alternative asset management demand expands globally.
Debt-to-equity sits at 0.4x with interest coverage of 20.8x, meaning debt costs are easily managed. Free cash flow reached $2.3B, showing strong cash generation that is getting stronger.
Insiders
