Japan

In 2025, Brookfield Wealth Solutions signed its first Japan-based reinsurance agreement with leading Japanese insurance company Dai-ichi Frontier Life. Japan presents a tremendous opportunity for BWS as one of the largest insurance markets in the world. Given macroeconomic and demographic trends, Japanese insurers are exploring partnerships to improve capital efficiency and source higher-yielding assets to match their growing liabilities. 

Brookfield has expanded its real estate presence in Japan through landmark acquisitions that include the Gajoen complex and a stake in Dentsu’s Tokyo headquarters. These investments reflect a strategy of targeting high-quality, well-located assets while scaling our footprint in one of the world’s most liquid and institutional real estate markets.

We established the Brookfield Academy to help grow the future leaders of our industry. A week-long residential study course brings together Brookfield’s investment professionals and mid-level investment professionals from across our investor base. As our partners allocate increasing amounts of capital to alternative investments, the Brookfield Academy is designed to help enhance the knowledge base of their investment professionals as they build their careers. In 2025, more than 50 attendees from over 38 investment firms across Japan, Australia, South Korea, Singapore and China attended the immersive multi-day program in Tokyo, where they learned more about alternative asset investing and drilled down into some of our most innovative transactions from around the world.
