Brookfield Perspectives is a podcast from Brookfield, one of the world’s largest alternative asset managers. Here, we explore how Brookfield invests in the backbone of the global economy—the things you rely on every day that you may not even think about, like wind turbines, water treatment facilities, telecom towers and office buildings. In our first season, we explore our decades-long commitment to renewable energy, and how we’re investing through the world’s largest private fund dedicated to facilitating a net-zero economy. In our second season, we dive into deglobalization and shifting supply chains, examining how these are presenting opportunities across several asset classes. In the third season, we examine digitalization, the use of digital technologies to improve on analog systems and create additional value, and the impact that the exponential growth in data-driven technologies such as AI will have on the investment landscape and the global financial ecosystem.
Governments and the private sector are investing in life sciences and biomanufacturing research and development, and there’s a push to house more of these facilities in the U.S. and the U.K. Lowell Baron, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer in Brookfield's Real Estate Group, Tom Ragno, Principal at King Street Properties, and Devin Barnwell, who manages the global portfolio for Brookfield’s logistics business, discuss what onshoring looks like for these industries, why it’s so important, and where the opportunities are.
