Brookfield Selected by Nuclear Liabilities Fund for Multi-Decade Investment Mandate

Initial $1bn (c.£750 million) commitment will be invested across Brookfield's global investment strategies
Investment portfolio structured to reinvest capital and deliver long term compounding
Partnership aims to help the Nuclear Liabilities Fund achieve the required returns to cover the future costs of nuclear decommissioning in the UK

Brookfield today announced that it has been selected by the Nuclear Liabilities Fund ("NLF") to manage a long-term, multi-asset investment mandate, with an initial $1bn commitment.

The mandate will be managed by Brookfield's Investment Solutions Group ("ISG"). Building on Brookfield's longstanding experience developing customized solutions for institutional investors, ISG draws on the investment capabilities across Brookfield to construct portfolios tailored to clients' specific objectives, risk parameters and investment horizons. ISG is chaired by Oaktree Co-Chairman Howard Marks and led by Alper Daglioglu.

NLF's portfolio will invest globally across Brookfield's infrastructure, energy, private equity, real estate and private credit strategies. Investments are expected to include a combination of fund commitments, direct investments and co-investments.

The partnership has been structured around the distinctive long-term nature of NLF's liabilities associated with decommissioning eight of the UK's nuclear power stations. By aligning the investment horizon of the portfolio with NLF's multi-decade funding requirements, the mandate is designed to support long-term capital growth and compounding of investment returns over an extended period, with the goal of helping NLF meet future decommissioning costs.

For NLF, the mandate supports its purpose to invest assets responsibly so that future decommissioning costs can be met without unnecessary reliance on taxpayers. The portfolio will emphasize disciplined capital allocation, with investment proceeds expected to be reinvested into new opportunities over time rather than routinely distributed, enabling capital to remain invested across market cycles and seeking to enhance long-term net investment outcomes.

Alper Daglioglu, Head of Brookfield's Investment Solutions Group, said: "NLF has an exceptionally long investment horizon, and that creates an opportunity to invest differently. Our partnership is built on a shared belief in long-term thinking, disciplined capital allocation and the power of compounding over decades. We will draw on the breadth of Brookfield capabilities to customize a portfolio around NLF's specific objectives and continue to evolve that portfolio as opportunities and needs change over time. We are honored by the trust NLF has placed in us and recognize the responsibility that comes with this mandate."

Melissa Hope, CEO of the Nuclear Liabilities Fund, said: "Our mandate is to ensure that sufficient assets are available to meet the future costs of decommissioning eight of the UK's nuclear power stations. Following a competitive selection process, Brookfield stood out for its depth of global investment capability, long-term perspective and disciplined approach to portfolio construction and governance. This partnership is designed to support our obligations over a multi-decade horizon and Brookfield's breadth of capabilities, long-term investment approach and experience investing through multiple market cycles make them a natural partner for this important mandate. We look forward to working together in the years ahead."
