$634 million in the quarter and$2.6 billion over the LTM. - Fee-related earnings increased by
13% , when excluding performance fees, compared to the prior year. - Fundraising continues to be strong with inflows of
$61 billion year to date and$71 billion for the LTM. Fee-bearing capital was$440 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of$33 billion or8% over the LTM. - We closed our largest ever private equity fund in the quarter and the world’s largest private infrastructure debt fund after quarter end. We remain on track towards achieving our
$150 billion capital raising target.
Insurance Solutions:
- Distributable operating earnings were
$182 million in the quarter and$657 million over the LTM, an increase of14% compared to the prior year quarter. - During the quarter, our insurance assets grew to approximately
$50 billion and our average investment portfolio yield was5.5% , about 200 bps higher than the average cost of capital. - We continue to track towards reaching
$800 million of annualized earnings by the end of 2023. With the expected closing of Argo Group and American Equity Life, our insurance solutions business will grow to over$100 billion of assets and$1.2 billion of annualized earnings with a credible path to a stabilized earnings run-rate of approximately$2 billion annually over time.
Operating Businesses:
- Distributable earnings were
$366 million for the quarter and$1.5 billion over the LTM. - Operating Funds from Operations within our renewable power & transition and infrastructure businesses increased by
14% over the LTM, generating stable and growing cash distributions. Our private equity business continues to contribute resilient and high-quality cash flows. - Strong performance within our core real estate portfolio drove same-store NOI growth of
9% compared to the prior year, capturing higher revenues and tenant demand. Leasing activity remains strong with 0.8 million square feet completed in the quarter across all our office assets, and foot traffic increased by7% versus the comparative period at our core retail portfolio.
Earnings from realizations of mature assets were
- Executed on approximately
$25 billion of asset sales year to date, bringing the total monetizations completed over the LTM to over$35 billion —substantially all transacting at values higher than our IFRS carrying values, providing strong evidence for the carrying values of our high-quality investments. - Year to date, we have recognized
$470 million of net realized carried interest into income and continue to see a path to realize well over$500 million of net realized carried interest into income this year. - Total accumulated unrealized carried interest now stands at
$9.9 billion , representing an increase of12% over the LTM, net of carried interest realized into income.
We ended the quarter with nearly
- Since the end of the last quarter, we returned over
$400 million to shareholders through regular dividends and share repurchases. Over the LTM, we have repurchased approximately$750 million of Class A shares in the open market. - We have significant amounts of deployable capital of nearly
$120 billion , which includes$35 billion of cash, financial assets and undrawn credit lines at the Corporation and our affiliates. - Our balance sheet remains conservatively capitalized, with a weighted-average term of 12 years and modest maturities through to the end of 2024.
- We maintain strong access to the capital markets enabling us to refinance existing operations and fund growth. In just the past few months, our businesses have been able to access the capital markets and execute a number of financings, increasing the duration, and in many cases tightening the spreads of the debt.
- Within our real estate business, we have successfully refinanced our 2023 maturities across 131 individual loans with no material impact to liquidity, and we expect to be able to refinance our upcoming maturities with similar success.

Non-IFRS and Performance Measures
This news release and accompanying financial information are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), unless otherwise noted.
We make reference to Distributable Earnings (“DE”). We define DE as the sum of distributable earnings from our asset management business, distributable operating earnings from our insurance solutions business, distributions received from our ownership of investments, realized carried interest and disposition gains from principal investments, net of earnings from our Corporate Activities, preferred share dividends and equity-based compensation costs. We also make reference to DE before realizations, which refers to DE before realized carried interest and realized disposition gains from principal investments. We believe these measures provide insight into earnings received by the company that are available for distribution to common shareholders or to be reinvested into the business.
Realized carried interest and realized disposition gains are further described below:
- Realized Carried Interest represents our contractual share of investment gains generated within a private fund after considering our clients’ minimum return requirements. Realized carried interest is determined on third-party capital that is no longer subject to future investment performance.
- Realized Disposition Gains from principal investments are included in DE because we consider the purchase and sale of assets from our directly held investments to be a normal part of the company’s business. Realized disposition gains include gains and losses recorded in net income and equity in the current period, and are adjusted to include fair value changes and revaluation surplus balances recorded in prior periods which were not included in prior period DE.
We make reference to Funds from Operations (“FFO”). We define FFO as net income attributable to shareholders prior to fair value changes, depreciation and amortization, and deferred income taxes, and it includes realized disposition gains that are not recorded in net income as determined under IFRS. FFO also includes the company’s share of equity accounted investments’ FFO on a fully diluted basis.
FFO consists of the following components:
- Operating FFO represents the company’s share of revenues less direct costs and interest expenses; excludes realized carried interest and disposition gains, fair value changes, depreciation and amortization and deferred income taxes; and includes our proportionate share of FFO from operating activities recorded by equity accounted investments on a fully diluted basis. We present this measure as we believe it assists in describing our results and variances within FFO.
- Realized Carried Interest as defined above.
- Realized Disposition Gains are included in FFO because we consider the purchase and sale of assets to be a normal part of the company’s business. Realized disposition gains include gains and losses recorded in net income and equity in the current period, and are adjusted to include fair value changes and revaluation surplus balances recorded in prior periods which were not included in prior period FFO.
We use DE and FFO to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield Corporation’s business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find these measures of value to them.
We also make reference to Net Operating Income (“NOI”), which refers to the revenues from our operations less direct expenses before the impact of depreciation and amortization within our real estate business. We present this measure as we believe it is a key indicator of our ability to impact the operating performance of our properties. As NOI excludes non-recurring items and depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, it provides a performance measure that, when compared to prior periods, reflects the impact of operations from trends in occupancy rates and rental rates.
We disclose a number of financial measures in this news release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures, which include DE and FFO, should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. We caution readers that these non-IFRS financial measures or other financial metrics are not standardized under IFRS and may differ from the financial measures or other financial metrics disclosed by other businesses and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities.
We provide additional information on key terms and non-IFRS measures in our filings available at www.bn.brookfield.com.
