Brookfield Asset Management Announces Record Third Quarter Results Fundraised a Record $30 Billion in the Third Quarter Record Fee-Related Earnings Up 19% Over the Last Twelve Months Announced Agreement to Acquire Remaining Interest in Oaktree NEW YORK, November 7, 2025 – Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.

Connor Teskey, President of Brookfield Asset Management, stated, “We delivered strong results this quarter, highlighted by records in both capital raising of $30 billion and deployment of $23 billion, driving earnings to an all-time high for our business. We also realized record monetizations of $15 billion, underscoring the strength of our platform across a broad range of strategies.” He continued, “In October, we announced an agreement to acquire the remaining interest in Oaktree. Over the past six years, this partnership has exceeded all expectations, and full ownership will allow us to work together more closely—deepening collaboration across our businesses, driving greater efficiency, and enhancing the value we deliver to our clients and shareholders.” Financial Results We delivered record results in the third quarter, underscored by strong capital inflows and robust deployments.

Net income attributable to BAM totaled $724 million in the quarter and $2.6 billion over the last twelve months, up 33% and 41%, respectively. Fee-related earnings (“FRE”) were a record $754 million or $0.46 per share in the quarter, a 17% increase over the prior year. Over the last twelve months, FRE increased 19% to $2.8 billion, or $1.72 per share, with margins expanding to 58% in the quarter, and 57% over the last twelve months. Distributable earnings (“DE”) were $661 million , or $0.41 per share in the quarter and $2.6 billion, or $1.58 per share over the last twelve months, up 7% and 12%, respectively. Operating Results Earnings growth was driven by record organic fundraising of $30 billion in the quarter and over $100 billion in the past twelve months. Fee-bearing capital grew to $581 billion, up 8% year- over-year, driven by strong fundraising and deployments within our infrastructure, transition, and credit businesses. Our successful quarterly fundraising came from a broad range of strategies, with nearly 80% of capital raised coming from our complementary strategies. Some of the more notable progress on our fundraising efforts include: • During the quarter, we held the final institutional closing of the second vintage of our global transition flagship strategy for $20 billion. This exceeded our target and the record set by the prior vintage to become the world’s largest private fund dedicated to the transition to clean energy. This continues the strong momentum from our most recent flagship real estate fund, which also exceeded expectations and, on close of the regional sleeves, will be our largest real estate strategy ever raised at more than $17 billion. • We expect fundraising momentum to continue in the coming quarters, led by the seventh vintage of our private equity flagship fund, which we recently launched; the sixth vintage of our infrastructure flagship fund, which we expect to launch in early 2026; and the first close of our inaugural AI Infrastructure fund expected before year-end. We expect both our private equity and infrastructure flagships to be the largest in their respective series, with the AI Infrastructure fund among our largest first-time strategies. We have also continued to see an increasingly more favorable transaction environment driven by the enduring global investment themes on which we focus. We deployed a total of $23 billion into attractive investment opportunities during the quarter, marking our largest quarter for deployments ever. Market conditions have likewise supported our ability to monetize investments at strong valuations. During the quarter, we sold assets valued at $25 billion, representing $15 billion of equity value. Our infrastructure and transition franchise remains one of the largest and most established globally, serving as a cornerstone of our platform and a key driver of long-term growth. Over the past year, we raised $30 billion, deployed $30 billion, and monetized $11 billion at approximately 20% returns—demonstrating the strength, scale, and consistency of performance across our platforms. Across flagship, core, and adjacent strategies, our size and operating capabilities position us as a partner of choice for governments and corporations seeking to develop and modernize essential infrastructure worldwide.

Third quarter highlights of our activities across each of our business groups include: Infrastructure • Fundraising: We raised $3.5 billion , including $800 million raised within our infrastructure private wealth strategy, which now stands at $7.0 billion. • Deployment: We deployed $9.3 billion, including $3.8 billion toward the acquisition of Hotwire Communications and $3.4 billion for the acquisition of Colonial Enterprises, both announced in the prior quarter. Subsequent to quarter end, we entered into a $5.0 billion strategic partnership agreement with Bloom Energy to install up to 1 GW of behind-the-meter, low-emission, power generation, representing our first investment for our AI infrastructure fund. • Monetizations: We monetized $4.2 billion , including $1.7 billion from a portfolio of stabilized data center assets developed by our Data4 platform and $1.7 billion from the sale of Patrick Terminals, a container terminal operations business in Australia. Renewable Power & Transition • Fundraising: We raised $6.3 billion, including over $4.0 billion raised for the final close for the second vintage of our global transition flagship strategy. • Monetizations: We monetized $2.1 billion from a leading South American power business. Private Equity • Fundraising: We raised $2.1 billion , including $1.4 billion across two inaugural complementary funds, our Middle East private equity and financial infrastructure funds. Subsequent to quarter-end, we held a final close for the inaugural Pinegrove opportunistic strategy for $2.5 billion, exceeding its initial target and ranking among the largest first-time venture, growth, or secondaries funds ever raised. Real Estate • Fundraising: We raised $2.0 billion, including $1.0 billion for the fifth vintage of our real estate flagship platform across regional sleeves and co-investments. • Deployment: We deployed $1.9 billion of capital, including the acquisitions of Generator Hostels, a leading European lifestyle hostel platform, and a Singapore industrial portfolio. Credit • Fundraising: We raised nearly $16 billion of capital, including $6.1 billion from long-term private funds, of which approximately $800 million was raised the fourth vintage of our infrastructure mezzanine credit strategy. We raised $3.7 billion from liquid credit strategies and $1.1 billion from perpetual credit funds. We also raised over $5.0 billion from Brookfield Wealth Solutions and an SMA agreement with a leading Japanese insurance company, marking our first entry into the Japanese insurance market. • Deployment: We deployed $9.9 billion across our credit platform, including $2.1 billion out of our opportunistic credit flagship strategy, $1.0 billion out of our strategic credit fund, $1.5 billion across our insurance solutions vehicle, and over $600 million across our infrastructure mezzanine credit strategy.

• Monetizations: We monetized $5.0 billion across our credit platform, including $2.2 billion across our opportunistic debt investments, and $1.3 billion across strategic credit vehicles. Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships • Oaktree: In October, we, along with Brookfield Corporation (“BN”) announced the acquisition of the approximate 26% interest in Oaktree that we do not already own for total consideration of approximately $3.0 billion. BAM will fund approximately $1.6 billion and BN $1.4 billion, reflecting the current proportionate ownership. BAM will acquire Oaktree’s fee-related earnings, carried interest in certain funds (net of BN’s 33% royalty), and partner manager interests in 17Capital and DoubleLine—creating a fully integrated, leading global credit platform with significant scale and capability. The transaction is structured to be non-dilutive to shareholders, immediately accretive to FRE, and fully aligned with our asset-light model. With Oaktree’s leadership remaining in place, we expect to drive improved operating leverage from the combined platform and position the business for continued growth. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. • Angel Oak: In October, we completed its acquisition of a majority interest in Angel Oak, a leading asset manager focused on specialty mortgage and consumer credit solutions with $11 billion of fee-bearing capital. The partnership aligns with our strategy of investing alongside best-in-class credit managers that operate in specialized sectors. Angel Oak’s origination strength, deep market expertise, and vertically integrated platform enhance our presence in the U.S. mortgage credit market and complement Brookfield’s leading asset-backed finance business and broader private credit franchise. • Just Group: In September, Just Group shareholders approved Brookfield Wealth Solution’s (“BWS”) acquisition offer. This previously announced acquisition creates an opportunity for BWS to further its investment in the U.K. market and will add approximately $36 billion of assets to its investment portfolio. While BAM is not contributing capital to the transaction or taking on insurance liabilities, we will become the investment manager for a significant portion of this portfolio, on terms consistent with our existing investment management agreement with BWS. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals. • U.S. Government: In October, we announced a strategic partnership with the U.S. Government to accelerate the deployment of nuclear power. The U.S. Government has committed to investing $80 billion to develop new nuclear power plants across the U.S. utilizing Westinghouse technology. This partnership will help unlock the potential that Westinghouse and nuclear energy can play to accelerate the growth of artificial intelligence, while meeting growing electricity demand and energy security needs at scale. Uncalled Fund Commitments and Liquidity As of September 30, 2025 , we had $125 billion of uncalled fund commitments, $55 billion of which are not earning fees but will earn approximately $550 million annually once deployed. We had corporate liquidity of $2.6 billion on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 , comprised of cash, short term financial assets, and the undrawn capacity on our revolving credit. In September, we issued $750 million of new, 30-year senior unsecured notes with a coupon of 6.077%. Additionally, we increased the capacity of our revolver by $300 million, bringing our total revolver capacity to $1.0 billion. Brookfield Asset Management 4

Non-GAAP and Performance Measures of our Asset Management Business This news release and accompanying financial information are based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). We make reference to Distributable Earnings (“DE”), which is referring to the sum of its fee-related earnings, realized carried interest, realized principal investments, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses; excluding equity-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization. The most directly comparable measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of Brookfield Asset Management for DE is net income. This provides insight into earnings received by the company that are available for distribution to common shareholders or to be reinvested into the business. We use Fee-Related Earnings (“FRE”) and DE to assess our operating results and the value of Brookfield’s business and believe that many shareholders and analysts also find these measures of value to them. We disclose a number of financial measures in this news release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial measures, which include FRE and DE, should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures or other financial metrics are not standardized under U.S. GAAP and may differ from the financial measures or other financial metrics disclosed by other businesses and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities. We provide additional information on key terms and non-GAAP measures in our filings available at bam.brookfield.com. Brookfield Asset Management 10
