Our Investment Philosophy First and foremost, we are value investors with a contrarian point of view. We have learned that some of the best opportunities are found in out-of-favor sectors or regions where capital is scarce. Our investment strategy is simple: utilize our global team of investment professionals, our vast network of employees across our operating businesses, and our industry partners to identify and acquire highquality assets at favorable valuations and finance them on a long-term, low-risk basis. We then create value by increasing cash flows and asset values, and realizing the investment at the right time. We always seek downside protection, and we re proud of our ability to generate strong riskadjusted returns across all market conditions. BROOKFIELD PLACE, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES ARTERIS, BRAZIL 2
