Alternative Investments, Tailored for Private Wealth
Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions delivers institutional-caliber alternative solutions from two of the world's leading alternatives managers
Who we are
Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions
We are a global network of professionals dedicated to delivering alternative solutions for private wealth.
Brookfield's acquisition of a majority stake in Oaktree Capital in 2019 strengthened its position as one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world. Today, Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions delivers the capabilities of both firms to private wealth investors, in partnership with their advisors.
Our solutions are designed to meet the diverse needs of investors, grounded in a shared commitment to investment excellence, integrity, and alignment of interests.
We provide financial advisors and their clients with education, as well as market and investment insights, informed by our unique capabilities and leadership in alternatives.
