Shane Parrish with Connor Teskey
How does Brookfield manage a trillion dollars? CEO Connor Teskey reveals how focusing on the global economy's backbone, locking in contracts, and prioritizing downside protection yields asymmetric returns.
True investment success comes from underwriting the absolute worst-case scenario, ensuring that if you protect the downside, the upside will take care of itself.
To eliminate market and price volatility, capital should not be deployed until construction costs, revenue offtake agreements, engineering contracts, and long-term financing are all locked in simultaneously.
Utilizing long-term, fixed-rate, non-recourse financing at the individual asset level protects the broader portfolio from being tainted by a single underperforming project.
