Brookfield: Backbone of the global economy

Connor Teskey, President, Asset Management, Brookfield

Connor Teskey:

Alternatives have delivered attractive returns and downside protection for institutional investors for more than two decades. We want to give everyone access to that same opportunity.

[TITLE CARD: Backbone of the GLOBAL ECONOMY]

Connor Teskey:

At Brookfield, we focus on investing in...

[TITLE CARD: Connor Teskey, President, Asset Management, Brookfield]

Connor Teskey:

...the backbone of the global economy: infrastructure, energy and real estate. Across all of those verticals, growth is bigger today than ever before. We put money to work on behalf of our clients as an owner and operator of critical assets that allow economies and communities around the world to grow.

Bruce Flatt:

We're investing for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 years into the future. 

[TITLE CARD: Bruce Flatt, CEO, Brookfield]

Bruce Flatt:

When you're investing for the very long term, you can't have partners that quit on you halfway through. And Wells Fargo has been an incredibly supportive partner through many cycles. 

Darin Deschamps:

Brookfield and Wells Fargo...

[TITLE CARD: Darin Deschamps, Managing Director, Wells Fargo Corporate & Investment Banking]

Darin Deschamps:

...have had a relationship that is over 30 years old. We provide Brookfield with M&A advice, bank capital, capital markets, as well as risk management products.

Connor Teskey:

Wells Fargo brings an alignment, a reliability and a scale that is very complementary to what we do at Brookfield...

Connor Teskey:

...that very few institutions around the world can match. They're helping us in delivering alternatives to the broader market, to the individual investor.

Darin Deschamps:

That same long-term thinking that Brookfield has been bringing to bear for institutions, they can now bring to individuals through investment advisors and channels that Wells Fargo has.

Bruce Flatt:

We invest a trillion dollars on behalf of individuals. By putting these private assets into their portfolio, we can lower the risk, and we can earn them extra returns. People write to me, and they tell me about how we changed their life. And that’s a pretty, pretty great thing.
