The company provided BNRE with an equity commitment in the amount of $2.0 billion to fund future growth, which BNRE may draw on from time to time. As of December 31, 2023, there was no amount drawn under this equity commitment.

BNRE may seek to add duration and diversification to its investment portfolio by acquiring public and private real assets across many asset classes, including real estate, royalties, or public securities (among other assets). These acquisitions could be made in the open market or from assets currently owned by the Corporation. During the year, the Corporation sold $1.1 billion of real estate and other assets to BNRE for cash.

In addition, to support the continued scaling of our Insurance Solutions business’ asset base, the Corporation capitalized BNRE with an economic interest in $2.1 billion of real estate and other assets in exchange for newly-issued BNRE class C shares.
