Connor Teskey

Teskey states that despite the war in the Middle East, fundamentals for Data Centers and Energy are "better than ever before" and Brookfield is a "net beneficiary from AI penetration." The market is selling off on geopolitical fear. Brookfield manages real assets (infrastructure, energy) that are essential regardless of political administration. The dip provides an entry into a manager with massive exposure to the secular AI-infrastructure boom. LONG. High-conviction play on real asset demand. Escalation in the Strait of Hormuz could physically threaten assets, though Teskey claims they are diversified.

WTI Crude is up ~5% due to US/Israel strikes on Iran. Teskey reinforces that Energy fundamentals are strong. While the US President promised insurance/escorts for tankers, the risk premium in the Strait of Hormuz is real. Energy stocks and commodities act as the primary hedge against this geopolitical escalation. LONG. Geopolitical hedge. De-escalation or increased US supply floods the market.
