Brookfield Asset Management, Canadian Pension Manager Form C$50 Billion Infrastructure Partnership

By Adriano Marchese

Brookfield Asset Management is teaming up with Canada's largest public pension manager to deploy up to 50 billion Canadian dollars ($35.97 billion) in support of the country-wide infrastructure and industrial projects push.

Under the framework, named the Maple Fund, Brookfield and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board will each commit up to C$25 billion over an initial five-year time horizon. The two companies said Tuesday that the partnership is intended to expand the range of opportunities to pursue together, particularly large and complex projects that require big upfront investments.

The partnership will focus on opportunities and projects that are worth over C$5 billion in equity capital, but will also keep the door open to other investors to join.

Brookfield and the CPP Investments join growing wave of companies and financial heavyweights that are committing large amounts of capital to support national economic development at a time when cross-border trade tensions add a strong dose of uncertainty. The dual C$50 billion pledge lands as Prime Minister Mark Carney hosts a high-profile summit in Toronto aimed at showcasing major Canadian infrastructure and industrial projects to top global investors.

Over the past days, major players such as Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Montreal and Sun Life Financial, have been announcing similar pledges to support the country's infrastructure push.
