Brookfield Brazil believes that the best way to create long-term investment returns is to generate increasing operational cash flows over time.

Investment returns are influenced by a number of factors that are specific to each asset type and industry.

There are, however, four key activities that Brookfield Brazil focuses on across the organization:

• Acquiring assets “for value”, meaning that the projected cash flows and value appreciation of the asset represent an attractive risk-adjusted return to Brookfield Brazil and to its co-investors
• Optimizing cash returns and value of the asset on an ongoing basis
• Finance assets effectively, using a prudent amount of leverage
• Realizing the maximum value of assets through a direct or indirect sale or monetization of the assets
