Brookfield is establishing a Doha office anchored by its global credit platform, including Oaktree. The local presence extends its investment activity in Qatar and the Gulf. It follows existing institutional partnerships, including a planned 20 billion dollars AI infrastructure venture with Qai. That partnership value is separate from any budget for the new office.
Global investment manager Brookfield has opened a Doha office focused on its global credit platform, including Oaktree. The firm is extending its local presence in Qatar as it seeks investment opportunities across the country and the wider Gulf. Its stated approach is to maintain local teams in markets where it invests capital. The Doha team is intended to work with local partners to identify opportunities.[1], [2]
The opening builds on Brookfield’s existing institutional relationships in Qatar. Among them is a planned 20 billion dollars joint venture with Qai, the artificial intelligence company owned by the Qatar Investment Authority, Qatar’s sovereign investment institution. That venture is intended to develop AI infrastructure in Qatar and selected international markets. The partnership’s announced value belongs to that infrastructure plan; it is not a newly disclosed budget for the Doha office.[1], [2]
Jad Ellawn, Brookfield’s managing partner and Middle East regional head, pointed to established relationships with major Qatari institutions, including the Qatar Investment Authority. He described the office as a natural next step in the company’s regional expansion and expressed confidence in deepening those partnerships. According to the company statement carried by Qatar News Agency and Khaleej Business Insight, Brookfield manages approximately 20 billion dollars across Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Those assets span private equity, property, credit and infrastructure, while its global assets under management exceed 1 trillion dollars.[1]
