If you want to torture yourself, try to build a detailed valuation model for Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM).
I don't think there's much doubt that this firm is a premier fund
manager in the world of real estate, power, infrastructure, and similar
assets, but the process of estimating the cashflows from the
publicly-traded LPs, the internally-managed funds, the directly-held
assets, and the value of the private equity funds is challenging to say
the least.
On a very simplistic level, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to look at Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (NYSE:BPY), Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P. (NYSE:BEP), and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (NYSE:BIP),
conclude that they are undervalued, and lean in the direction of
assuming that Brookfield Asset Management is likewise undervalued. Going
further and making some estimates and assumptions regarding the value
of the asset management operations and unlisted assets, I believe that
to be the case and that Brookfield is undervalued. What's more, I think
the company is closing in on a point where its asset management
operations are really about to take off and transform the perception of
the company away from being a holding company and toward being an asset
manager.
