Memos from Howard Marks: Ruminating on Asset AllocationFund framework gives individual investors in EMEA, Asia, and Latin America greater access to alternative investment strategies from Brookfield and Oaktree
NEW YORK – April 29, 2024 – Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, a leading provider of alternative investments to financial advisors and their clients globally, today announced the launch of its UCI Part II (SICAV) platform for wealth management clients. The Luxembourg-based, regulated fund framework gives investors across EMEA, Asia, and Latin America greater access to Brookfield and Oaktree strategies, and signifies Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions’ commitment to providing best-in-class alternative solutions to wealth investors across the globe.
The UCI Part II platform will feature Brookfield’s perpetually offered infrastructure strategy which leverages Brookfield’s $293B infrastructure platform to invest in individual deals and assets across renewable power and transition, data, utilities, transport, and midstream. Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions plans to add additional strategies including Oaktree credit strategies to the platform in the coming quarters.
As we continue to grow Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions capabilities globally, the UCI Part II launch marks an exciting milestone in our product innovation efforts. We look forward to continuing to evolve and add to the number of perpetually offered and private funds for advisors and their clients.

Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions CEO
Tara Newbery, Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions’ Managing Director and Head of Legal EMEA and APAC, added, “UCI Part II funds are an ideal wrapper for wealth investors looking to access alternative investment strategies such as those offered by Brookfield and Oaktree. The registered nature and low investment minimum of a UCI Part II allows for greater scale across key markets, but also provides greater familiarity for clients. Our UCI Part II Platform aims to simplify due diligence and onboarding processes for our distribution partners enabling our wealth partners to onboard new products efficiently.”
