Aristotle Atlantic International Equity ADR Strategy made the following comment about Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (NYSE:BAM) in its first quarter 2023 investor letter:

“During the quarter, we sold our position in Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (NYSE:BAM). We have been owners of Brookfield since the strategy’s inception. In December 2022, the company completed the spinoff of 25% of its asset management business, now known as Brookfield Asset Management (“Manager,” ticker: BAM). As part of the spinoff, the parent company, Brookfield Corporation (“Corporation,” ticker: BN), retained a 75% interest in the Manager. As such, we decided to sell our stake in the Manager and use the proceeds to top‐up our investment in the Corporation. While we continue to find the Manager’s business attractive, we view Brookfield Corporation as a more optimal investment.”
