The firm has not yet released its next earnings date. Brookfield is targeting a massive capital raise to support global AI infrastructure development after confirming plans for a new $10 billion fund, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Brookfield’s $10 Billion AI Fund Strategy

The Canadian investment firm has already secured $5 billion toward the fund’s goal. Early backers include Nvidia, the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), and Brookfield’s own balance sheet. Reuters reported that Brookfield and KIA did not respond to requests for comment, and the Journal’s information has not been independently verified.

Brookfield intends to leverage the equity, paired with partner contributions and debt financing, to reach up to $100 billion in AI infrastructure development potential. The focus spans the entire AI value chain, including data centers, power providers, chip manufacturing facilities.

Most of the capital will support construction on undeveloped land, reflecting Brookfield’s push to expand AI capacity at scale.

Early Deals and Global Partnerships

The fund has already begun deploying capital. In October, Brookfield entered a $5 billion agreement with Bloom Energy to install power systems in new data centers. The company also has deals in place with France and Sweden aimed at building secure government AI infrastructure.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised the effort, saying in an emailed statement that AI infrastructure requires land, power, and purpose-built supercomputers. He said the partnership with Brookfield brings these pieces together into a ready-to-deploy cloud ecosystem.

Brookfield’s Position in the AI Value Chain

Brookfield is already one of the world’s largest investors in AI-related infrastructure. The company has invested more than €100 billion (about $115.83 billion) across digital infrastructure, renewable power, and semiconductor manufacturing.

The firm manages over $1 trillion in assets globally, giving it significant leverage to scale long-term AI development, even as market analysts warn of an emerging AI bubble driven by valuations and heavy corporate spending.

Performance Overview

Brookfield’s returns trail the broader Canadian benchmark in recent periods. As of November 18, 2025:

• YTD: BAM –6.51% vs. S&P/TSX Composite +22.00%
• 1-Year: BAM –7.87% vs. +20.67%
