209920002 - 1_62mcn689 - PID 1851201 Hello I am Ted Dixon with your INK morning report preview for December the 8th. Insiders buy as Brookfield builds a super brand It has been a hundred years in the making, but Brookfield Asset Management believes it is on the road to establishing itself as a global super brand in its space. The key has been finding huge investable markets where it can apply its active value-oriented investing approach. According to Chief Investment Officer Sachin Shah, Brookfield's five core segments are mature areas of opportunity, each with a multi-trillion dollar investable universe. Historically, Brookfield has been associated with real estate investing. Indeed, according to company presentation, in 2016 real estate represented just under 40% of fee-bearing assets. However, this year, it is credit assets that take top spot with just under 40%. Meanwhile, in terms of growth, the winning business segment over the past 5 years has been private equity, up 328%. Check out our full report for the growth and asset numbers of all five segments. Meanwhile, on the financial front trailing 12-months EPS is back on the rise and importantly so is insider buying and that helps to put Brookfield Asset Management in the top 30% of all our stocks ranked. Well that is our summary for today and I hope to see you again tomorrow as we let the insiders guide us into opportunity into year-end.
