Brookfield has partnered with Mizuho Securities to launch its $8bn (€6.81bn) infrastructure income strategy in Japan, providing local wealth investors access to a global portfolio of infrastructure equity and debt.
The Brookfield Infrastructure Income (BII) strategy, launched in 2023, provides wealth investors access to Brookfield’s global infrastructure platform primarily through a diversified portfolio of infrastructure equity investments, complemented by exposure to infrastructure-related debt assets across sectors including transport, renewable power, midstream, data and utilities.
Jeremy Hall, head of international for Brookfield’s private wealth business, said: “By launching BII in Japan through financial intermediaries and advisers, wealth investors gain access to the same high-quality infrastructure opportunities and capabilities of Brookfield’s global platform that institutional investors have benefited from for decades.
“Japanese investors are committing increasing amounts of capital to our wealth strategies, and we look forward to expanding our offerings in Japan over the next 12 months.”
Together with a real estate income strategy launched in 2024, Japanese wealth investors now have access to two of Brookfield’s investment platforms.
Tatsuro Aoyama, head of Japan for Brookfield’s private wealth business, said: “We are delighted to deliver Brookfield’s flagship private infrastructure strategy to Japanese investors through Mizuho Securities, one of Japan’s leading financial institutions.
“With risk and return drivers that are fundamentally different from those of traditional asset classes, we are confident that private infrastructure will continue to establish itself as an increasingly important core allocation within investors’ portfolios.”
