- Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (BGLYX) is a mutual fund that seeks total return through growth of capital and current income by investing primarily in publicly traded equity securities of infrastructure companies listed on domestic or foreign exchanges worldwide, including the United States. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in such securities, with exposure maintained to infrastructure companies in the United States and at least three countries outside the United States; its portfolio emphasizes sectors such as integrated utilities and renewables (25.4%), midstream (16.8%), electricity transmission and distribution (15.7%), rail (12%), airports (8.2%), towers (6.3%), water (5.3%), toll roads (4.5%), gas utilities (3.6%), and ports (2%), with top holdings including NextEra Energy Inc. (7.01%), Xcel Energy Inc. (4.79%), Union Pacific Corp. (4.71%), Williams Companies Inc. (4.67%), and Crown Castle Inc. (3.99%). Geographically, the fund allocates approximately 59.3% to the U.S., 15% to Asia Pacific, 7.4% to Canada, 6.9% to continental Europe, 5.7% to the U.K., and 5.4% to Latin America, targeting institutional and high-net-worth investors through its Class I shares with a minimum investment of $1,000,000, quarterly dividends, and an expense ratio of 1.09% (with waiver).
Launched in December 2011 with CUSIP 112740709, the fund is managed by Brookfield Public Securities Group LLC and headquartered at Brookfield Place, 250 Vesey Street, New York, New York. It operates within the infrastructure category, focusing on companies subject to risks such as high leverage, regulation, economic slowdowns, and sector-specific factors like energy conservation policies, while employing derivatives for potential economic leverage.
In recent years, the fund underwent a share class restructuring whereby Legacy Class I Shares were automatically converted into the fund's Class Y Shares, which were subsequently renamed new Class I Shares, adopting the Legacy Class Y Shares' performance and accounting history to streamline its structure. Brookfield, through its broader ecosystem including Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, announced in October 2025 a $3 billion acquisition of the remaining 26% interest in Oaktree Capital Management to achieve full ownership, enhancing its credit and infrastructure investment platforms with an expected closure in Q1 2026. Additionally, Brookfield raised over $4 billion for the first close of its Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund IV in 2025 and surpassed a $20 billion target for Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, reflecting expanded infrastructure debt and transition investment capabilities that complement the fund's listed equity strategy.
