Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) is expanding its offerings for wealthy investors in Japan, targeting infrastructure, real estate, and private credit as hedges against inflation, Nikkei reported Wednesday.
The report said the firm is preparing to launch new private equity and asset-backed lending strategies in Japan within the next six to 12 months, adding to its existing real estate and infrastructure products, which include utilities, data centers, ports, and renewable energy assets.
The move comes as Japan's large household savings pool-estimated at about $15 trillion, is increasingly shifting toward equities and investment products, as returns on deposits lag behind inflation, according to the report.
Brookfield Asset Management did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
