NEW YORK – Nov. 8, 2023 – Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, a leading provider of alternative investments to financial advisors and their clients globally, today announced that its flagship infrastructure offering, Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund (“BII”), has launched in the United States. The semi-liquid strategy specifically designed for individual investors, which was launched in Asia Pacific and Europe in February, has raised over $1.5B since inception earlier in the year. The strategy is managed by Brookfield, one of the world’s largest and most experienced investors, owners, and operators of infrastructure assets.
BII provides access to Brookfield’s private infrastructure capabilities in a diversified portfolio of high-quality equity and debt investments. The strategy connects individual investors to Brookfield’s $258B infrastructure and renewable power platforms to invest in assets that meet the strategy’s investment criteria across the renewable power and transition, data, utilities, transport, and midstream sectors. Brookfield focuses on infrastructure assets that provide essential services, have high barriers to entry, and sustainable, long-term, inflation-linked cash flows, among other attractive investment characteristics.
David Levi, Brookfield Managing Partner and Head of Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, said, “Infrastructure is especially attractive in today’s market, providing strong risk adjusted returns, attractive income, and a natural inflation hedge. Brookfield’s size, scale, and leading position in infrastructure gave us the ability to create BII at a pivotal time, and we are well-positioned to provide a unique opportunity to individual investors looking to diversify their portfolios with alternatives”.
Chloe Berry, Head of the Brookfield Infrastructure Income Strategy, said, “It’s never been a more critical time to invest in assets that form the backbone of the global economy. We believe we are currently in the midst of an infrastructure super-cycle as the world looks to modernize its infrastructure to meet the needs of tomorrow. “With an over 100-year heritage as a global owner and operator, we look forward to growing BII and providing individual investors in the U.S. with access to Brookfield’s infrastructure deal flow.”
Grounded in 120 years of investment experience, Brookfield is one of the world’s largest investors in infrastructure, renewable power, and climate transition assets with $258B of assets under management in these sectors. We own, operate and finance high-quality, long-life assets in the renewable power & transition, utilities, transport, midstream and data sectors across North and South America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.
Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions was launched in April 2021 with the goal of expanding alternative investments to financial advisors and their clients, globally. The platform now offers a variety of liquid, semi-liquid, and private strategies across real estate, infrastructure, credit, and private equity, with 150 employees across 10 countries.

A fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the investment company, and it may be obtained by calling 855.862.5873 or visiting www.brookfieldoaktree.com Read the prospectus carefully before investing. Investing involves risk, and principal loss is possible.
No Assurance of Investment Return. The Adviser cannot provide assurance that it will be able to successfully implement the Fund’s investment strategy, or that Portfolio Investments (as defined in the Prospectus) will generate expected returns. Moreover, the Adviser cannot provide assurance that any stockholder will receive a return of their capital or any distribution from the Fund. No organized secondary market is expected to develop for the shares of the Fund, and liquidity for the shares is expected to be provided only through quarterly tender offers of the shares at NAV per share. Past performance of investment entities associated with Brookfield, the Adviser or its investment professionals is not necessarily indicative of future results or performance, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve comparable results. Accordingly, investors should draw no conclusions from the performance of any other investments of Brookfield or the Adviser, and they should not expect to achieve similar results. An investment in the Fund involves a risk of partial or total loss of capital and should only be considered by potential investors with high tolerance for risk.
The Portfolio Investments will be subject to the risks incidental to the ownership and operation of infrastructure projects, including risks associated with the general economic climate, geographic or market concentration, the ability of the Fund to manage the Portfolio Investment, government regulations and fluctuations in interest rates. Since investments in infrastructure securities, like many other types of long-term investments, have historically experienced significant fluctuations and cycles in value, specific market conditions may result in occasional or permanent reductions in the value of the Portfolio Investments. Such specific market conditions could include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) demand for commodities, such as natural gas or minerals; (ii) impact of alternative technologies on our business, and cyber security attacks; (iii) ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions; (iv) competition with other market participants; (v) construction or expansion or projects, environmental damage and future capital expenditures; (vi) economic regulation and adverse regulatory decisions in the countries in which we operate, including nationalization or the imposition of new taxes; (vii) supply chain disruptions; and (viii) adverse claims or governmental rights or governmental rights asserted against the lands used for our infrastructure assets.
