Shares of Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. (BAM, Financial) rose in the first quarter due to strong conditions in most of its business segments. The company is a global alternative asset manager with approximately $200 billion in assets under management, with a focus on real estate property, infrastructure, renewable energy, and private equity. A high quality portfolio, stable cash flows and attractive growth opportunities, global scale, a quality balance sheet, and an excellent management team with significant insider ownership support our favorable view.
