Asset under management ("AUM") refers to the total
fair value of assets managed, calculated as follows:
investments that Brookfield, which includes
Brookfield Corporation, the asset management
business, being Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.,
Brookfield Asset Management ULC or their affiliates,
either: consolidates for accounting purposes
(generally, investments in respect of which
Brookfield has a significant economic interest and
unilaterally directs day-to-day operating, investing
and financing activities), or does not consolidate for
accounting purposes but over which Brookfield has
significant influence by virtue of one or more
attributes (e.g., being the largest investor in the
investment, having the largest representation on the
investment's governance body, being the primary
manager and/or operator of the investment, and/or
having other significant influence attributes), are
calculated at 100% of the total fair value of the
investment taking into account its full capital
structure - equity and debt - on a gross asset
value basis, even if Brookfield does not own 100%
of the investment, with the exception of investments
held through our perpetual funds, which are
calculated at its proportionate economic share of the
investment's net asset value. - all other investments
are calculated at Brookfield's proportionate
economic share of the total fair value of the
investment taking into account its full capital
structure = equity and debt on a gross asset
value basis, with the exception of investments held
through our perpetual funds, which are calculated at
Brookfield's proportionate economic share of the
investment's net asset value. Our methodology for
determining AUM differs from the methodology that
is employed by other alternative asset managers as
well as the methodology for calculating regulatory
AUM that is prescribed for certain regulatory filings
(e.g., Form ADV and Form PF).
Institutional investors include total institutional
investors across Brookfield and Oaktree private fund
strategies.
Fee-bearing capital represents the capital
committed, pledged or invested in the perpetual
affiliates, private funds and liquid strategies that we
manage which entitles us to earn fee revenues. Fee-
bearing capital includes both called ("invested") and
uncalled ("pledged" or "committed") amounts. When
reconciling period amounts, we utilize the following

definitions: (a) Inflows include capital commitments
and contributions to our private and liquid strategies
funds and equity issuances in our perpetual
affiliates. (b) Outflows represent distributions and
redemptions of capital from within the liquid
strategies capital. (c) Distributions represent
quarterly distributions from perpetual affiliates as
well as returns of committed capital (excluding
market valuation adjustments), redemptions and
expiry of uncalled commitments within our private
funds. (d) Market activity includes gains (losses) on
portfolio investments, perpetual affiliates and liquid
strategies based on market prices. (e) Other include
changes in net non-recourse debt included in the
determination of perpetual affiliate capitalization and
the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on non
U.S. dollar commitments.
Distributable earnings ("DE") is a non-GAAP
measure that provides insight into earnings that are
available for distribution to common shareholders or
to be reinvested into the business. It is calculated as
the sum of fee-related earnings and realized carried
interest; returns from our corporate cash and
financial assets; cash taxes; excluding equity-based
compensation costs.
Fee-related earnings is comprised of fee revenues
less direct costs associated with earning those fees,
which include employee expenses and professional
fees as well as business related technology costs,
other shared services and taxes. We use this
measure to provide additional insight into the
operating profitability of our asset management
activities.
Carried interest is a contractual arrangement
whereby we receive a fixed percentage of
investment gains generated within a private fund
provided that the investors receive a predetermined
minimum return. Carried interest is typically paid
towards the end of the life of a fund after the capital
has been returned to investors and may be subject
to "clawback" until all investments have been
monetized and minimum investment returns are
sufficiently assured. This is referred to as realized
carried interest. "Annualized target carried interest"
represents the annualized carried interest we would
earn on third-party private fund capital subject to
carried interest based on the assumption that we
achieve the targeted returns on the private funds. It
is determined by multiplying the target gross return

of a fund by the percentage carried interest and by
the amount of third-party capital, and discounted by
a utilization factor representing the average invested
capital over the fund life.
Fee revenues include base management fees,
incentive distributions, performance fees and
transaction fees excluding carried interest.
Internal rate of return ("IRR") is the annualized
compounded rate of return of the fund, calculated
since initial investment date.
Base management fees are determined by
contractual arrangements, are typically equal to a
percentage of fee-bearing capital and are accrued
quarterly. Private fund base fees are typically earned
on fee-bearing capital from third-party investors only
and are earned on invested and/or uninvested fund
capital, depending on the stage of the fund life.
Perpetual affiliate base fees are earned on the total
capitalization or net asset value of our perpetual
affiliates, which includes our investment. Base fees
for BEP include a quarterly fixed fee amount of $5
million, with additional fees of 1.25% on the increase
in capitalization above their initial capitalization of $8
billion. Base fees for BIP and BBU are 1.25% of total
capitalization. Base fees for BPG are 1.05% of net
asset value, excluding its interests in private funds
and investments which were held directly by BAM
prior to the BPY privatization. Perpetual affiliate
capitalization as at September 30, 2023, was as
follows: BEP/BEPC - $20 billion; BIP/BIPC - $31
billion; BBU/BBUC $7 billion; and BPG - $19
billion.
