Brookfield Asset Management Reports Strong Q3 2026 Growth with 15% Increase in Fee-Related Earnings
Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) reported robust third-quarter 2026 financial results, highlighted by a 15% year-over-year increase in fee-related earnings to $864 million ($0.54 per share). Distributable earnings also rose 15% to $763 million, driven by recurring fee income and the first meaningful realization of carried interest since the company's spin-out. The firm demonstrated significant capital momentum, with total fundraising reaching $123 billion in the first three quarters of 2026. Infrastructure remains a core driver, with the flagship VI fund nearing its $30 billion target and Westinghouse delivering a 30% gross internal rate of return. Despite these gains, management noted that Brookfield Business Partners (BBU) performance fees are not expected for the full year due to share prices remaining below high-watermark thresholds.
