The firm's assets are concentrated in property, renewable power generation, infrastructure and private equity. The company operates high-quality, long-life assets that generate stable cash flows, require relatively minimal maintenance capital expenditures, and, by barriers to entry and other characteristics, tend to appreciate over time.

Brookfield Infrastructure also seeks acquisition opportunities in other infrastructure sectors with similar attributes.
