WHY CHOOSE A MULTI-REAL-ASSET SOLUTION? WHY INVEST WITH BROOKFIELD?

DECEMBER 2018

A Diverse Opportunity Set, But One With Several Common Characteristics

Listed real assets represent a diverse global universe of more than $11 trillion. Most of the companies that issue these securities are engaged in real estate, infrastructure and natural resources—asset classes with very different fundamental drivers and business models. However, they share several features that bind them together as real assets, and in our view, drive the investment potential of the asset class.

W H Y C H O O S E A D I V E R S I F I E D , M U LT I - R E A L - A S S E T - C L A S S S O L U T I O N ?The returns of real asset classes are driven by varying degrees of inflation sensitivity and the potential to generate both current income and long-term capital appreciation. Brookfield sees the merits in balancing each of these objectives in the construction of a diversified multi-real-asset-class solution. That said, our approach is to divide real asset classes into two categories: Strategic and Opportunistic. Strategic asset classes are those that have exhibited more consistent patterns of historical return.

Source: Bloomberg and Brookfield for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2018. The performance results do not represent actual trading or the performance of any Brookfield strategy. Actual trading may produce different results. Standard Deviation is a statistical measure used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. Sharpe ratio is the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate per unit of volatility or total risk. See the Index Key above for the index components used in this chart and see full definitions of these indexes at the end of this report. Past performance does not guarantee results. Index performance is not indicative of fund performance. To obtain fund performance call 1-855-777-8001 or visit our website, www.Brookfield.com. Investing in the real asset classes highlighted above involves risk. The loss of principal is possible, except for TIPS and U.S. Treasury bills for which principal is guaranteed by the full faith of the U.S. government. The tax treatment of returns of the asset classes listed above may differ given differential tax treatment of income versus capital gain and other factors, such as the capital structure of the investment.

Case Study: Why Take a “Strategic/Opportunistic” Approach to a Diversified, Multi-Real-Asset-Class Solution

We characterize our balanced approach to combining multiple real asset classes as a “Strategic/Opportunistic” approach. Supporting this framework is a long-term look at the risk-adjusted returns of various listed real asset classes, using the historical returns of public indexes. This example compares the return profiles of real asset classes we deem to be strategic to those deemed to be more opportunistic in nature. The combined historical results of those asset classes we deem to be strategic are represented by the Diversified Real Assets Index Blend, as defined in the footnotes. We believe that a dynamic allocation to these asset classes has the potential to deliver attractive total returns for investors seeking the alternative return profiles of real asset classes.

BROOKFIELD OVERVIEW FACT SHEET

I M P O R T A N T D I S C L O S U R E S Must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus if used in connection with a Brookfield mutual fund purchase. You can obtain a prospectus for a Brookfield mutual fund by calling 1-855-777-8001 or visiting our website, www.Brookfield.com. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Real assets include real estate securities, infrastructure securities and natural resources securities. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from unanticipated economic, legal, cultural or technological developments. REITs are dependent upon management skills and generally may not be diversified. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business, including high interest costs, high leverage, regulation costs, economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition, lack of fuel availability and energy conversation policies. Investments in small- and mid-cap companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investing in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment. Investing in MLPs involves additional risks as compared to the risks of investing in common stock, including risks related to cash flow, dilution and voting rights. Concentrating investments in specific sectors or industries may increase volatility. Energy infrastructure companies are subject to risks specific to the industry such as fluctuations in commodity prices, reduced volumes of natural gas or other energy commodities, environmental hazards, changes in the macroeconomic or the regulatory environment or extreme weather. MLPs may trade less frequently than larger companies due to their smaller capitalizations which may result in erratic price movement or difficulty in buying or selling. Additional management fees and other expenses are associated with investing in MLPs. Additionally, investing in MLPs involves material income tax risks and certain other risks. Actual results, performance or events may be affected by, without limitation, (1) general economic conditions, (2) performance of financial markets, (3) interest rate levels, (4) changes in laws and regulations and (5) changes in the policies of governments and/or regulatory authorities. Investing in MLPs may generate unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) for tax-exempt investors both during the holding period and at time of sale. This material is provided for general and educational purposes only, and is not intended to provide legal, tax or investment advice or to avoid legal penalties that may be imposed under U.S. federal tax laws. Investors should contact their own legal or tax advisors to learn more about the rules that may affect individual situations. Natural Resources Securities may be affected by numerous factors, including events occurring in nature, inflationary pressures and international politics. There is the risk that a significant investment in the Natural Resources sector will perform poorly during a downturn in the natural resource sector. For example, events occurring in nature (such as earthquakes or fires in prime natural resource areas) and political events (such as coups, military confrontations or acts of terrorism) can affect the overall supply of a natural resource and the value of companies involved in such natural resource. Political risks and the other risks to which foreign securities are subject may also affect domestic natural resource companies if they have significant operations or investments in foreign countries. Rising interest rates and general economic conditions may also affect the demand for natural resources. Debt securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative. Increases in interest rates can cause the prices of Fixed Income securities to decline, and the level of current income from a portfolio of Fixed Income securities may decline in certain interest rate environments. Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Some securities held may be difficult to sell, particularly during times of market turmoil. If a mutual fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemptions, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss. Using derivatives exposes a fund to additional risks, may increase the volatility of a fund’s net asset value and may not provide the result intended. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Diversification does not assure a profit nor does it protect against loss in a declining market.
