惠譽評級:Brookfield 獲「A」評級,展望穩定




惠譽評級給予Brookfield資產管理有限公司(BAM)長期發行人違約評級A,展望穩定

國際評級機構惠譽(Fitch Ratings)近日為Brookfield資產管理有限公司(Brookfield Asset Management Ltd., TSX代號:BAM)及其全資子公司Brookfield Asset Management ULC(Brookfield ULC)賦予長期發行人違約評級(Issuer Default Ratings,簡稱IDRs)「A」級,並對BAM即將發行的無擔保債券給予預期評級「A(EXP)」,該筆資金將用於一般企業用途。評級展望維持穩定。

與此同時,持有BAM 73%股份的母公司Brookfield Corporation則維持「A-」評級及穩定展望,未受此評級調整影響。

惠譽表示,BAM獲得「A」評級主要反映其作為全球替代投資管理者的強大地位。公司產品線多元,投資表現穩健,管理資產規模龐大,管理費帶來的息稅折舊攤銷前盈利(FEBITDA)利潤率高,槓桿水平較低,流動性充足,均為評級關鍵因素。

不過,惠譽亦指出BAM面臨若干限制,包括管理費收入較多依賴資產淨值(NAV)基礎,收入多元化不足,過去數年缺乏實現的績效提成(carried interest)收入,以及較高的派息比率,目標維持90%或以上。

此外,行業普遍面臨的「關鍵人物風險」、聲譽風險、法律、政治及監管風險亦被考慮在內。宏觀經濟環境挑戰,如利率高企和經濟增長放緩,也可能影響投資表現及募資能力。

2024年,BAM募資表現強勁,管理資產淨流入達1290億美元,比去年增長17.8%,年底管理資產規模達5385億美元。惠譽預期該增長趨勢將在短期內持續,並預計至2029年管理資產將翻倍。

BAM 2024年的FEBITDA利潤率達51%,2021至2024年平均為51.2%,符合惠譽對於「aa」級別替代投資管理者超過50%利潤率的標準。

截至2024年底,BAM並無長期借貸。雖然未來發行無擔保債券後槓桿會提升,但惠譽預期其債務對可分配盈餘的槓桿比率將保持在1.5倍或以下。

流動性方面,BAM憑藉強勁現金盈利、2024年底約4.04億美元現金及等價物,以及10.5億美元的企業循環信貸額度,展現出良好流動性。

惠譽表示,穩定的評級展望反映其預期BAM將繼續穩定產生管理費收益,保持強勁的FEBITDA利潤率,通過新增及擴大基金規模來維持管理資產規模,並保持槓桿率和流動性穩健。

評級下調的風險包括投資表現持續疲弱,影響FEBITDA生成能力;現金流槓桿持續超過2.0倍;利息保障倍數低於10倍;關鍵人物或聲譽事件損害募資及資產規模增長;或流動性狀況惡化。

相反,若BAM持續擴大規模及產品多元化,實現並穩定績效提成收入,槓桿率降至1.0倍或以下,提升流動性,利息保障倍數維持12倍或以上,並降低派息比率以增加現金儲備及減少淨負債,則可能獲得評級提升。

BAM:這位替代投資領頭羊是否面臨新挑戰?

2024年估值飆升,令不少投資者對於繼續投入股市感到猶豫。雖然股市機會無處不在,但尋找潛力股似乎比去年更具挑戰性。若想發掘新的優質標的,一個好方法是參考今年表現最佳的投資組合。投資網站Investing.com的ProPicks AI推出六款模型投資組合,幫助投資者鎖定當下最值得買入的股票。舉例來說,ProPicks AI已發現今年9隻被低估但股價飆升超過25%的股票。這些新進入月度篩選的股票,未來有望帶來豐厚回報。那麼,BAM會是其中之一嗎?

編輯評論與啟示

惠譽給予BAM「A」級評級,肯定了其在全球替代投資管理領域的穩健地位和優秀表現,尤其是在管理資產規模及利潤率上的領先優勢。這反映出BAM不僅擁有多元化的產品組合,更在資金募集及盈利能力方面保持強勁,為投資者帶來相對穩定的回報。

不過,BAM的收入結構仍有一定風險,尤其依賴基於資產淨值的管理費,缺乏穩定的實現績效提成,這在替代投資行業中較為少見,可能影響其收入的彈性和多元化。加上目標派息比率高達90%,意味著公司將絕大部分盈利分配給股東,留存資金有限,這在經濟波動或投資環境惡化時,可能限制公司靈活應對的能力。

此外,行業特有的「關鍵人物風險」和聲譽風險不可忽視,管理層的穩定性和聲譽對募資及投資表現有直接影響。隨著全球經濟面臨多重不確定性,包括利率上升和經濟增長放緩,BAM未來的投資表現和募集資金的能力仍需密切觀察。

總括而言,BAM目前的財務狀況和市場地位穩健,但未來能否持續保持競爭優勢,關鍵在於如何在保守派息政策與增強收入多元化之間取得平衡,以及應對外部宏觀經濟挑戰。對香港投資者而言,了解這些風險與機遇,有助於判斷BAM是否適合納入長線投資組合。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection. Ultra-realistic high-fashion studio portrait of a woman [image uploaded], vertical composition, framed from mid-chest to top of head. Camera at eye level, straight-on angle with a very slight head tilt to the subject’s left. Posture & pose: upright posture, shoulders relaxed. Left shoulder slightly forward, creating a gentle diagonal line across the collarbones. Arms relaxed out of frame, fur wrap resting naturally over the shoulders. Expression: calm, elegant, and composed. Soft neutral gaze directly into the camera, slightly parted lips with a subtle natural gloss. No smile, refined and confident mood. Face & skin: smooth fair skin with realistic texture and pores, soft luminous finish (not plastic or airbrushed). Rosy blush concentrated on the apples of the cheeks. Natural highlight on nose bridge, cheekbones, and collarbones. Eyes & makeup: large almond-shaped eyes, cool gray-brown irises. Long curled lashes, soft eyeliner, muted rose eyeshadow blended outward. Straight natural brows with gentle arch. Hair: short black bob cut just above the shoulders, slightly wavy ends. Center part with soft wispy strands framing the face. Large black satin bow tied at the back of the head, visible above the crown. Accessories: silver floral drop earrings with dangling details. Matching silver statement necklace with a central floral pendant resting at the upper chest. Clothing & styling: beige satin slip dress with thin spaghetti straps, smooth fabric with subtle sheen. Black faux-fur stole draped loosely around both shoulders, adding contrast and texture. Background: clean seamless light gray to off-white studio backdrop, evenly lit with no visible texture or distractions. Lighting: soft diffused beauty lighting from the front and slightly above eye level. Gentle fill light to reduce shadows, subtle rim light outlining hair and shoulders. Balanced highlights without overexposure. Color palette: neutral beige, black, silver, soft pink skin tones, minimal and elegant. Camera & settings: full-frame DSLR or mirrorless, 85mm lens, f/2–f/2.8, ISO 100, high sharpness on eyes, shallow depth of field. Image quality: ultra-high resolution, professional fashion photography, crisp details, natural skin realism. Strictly photorealistic human portrait — no illustration, no anime, no CGI, no digital painting, no doll-like skin. {
