Brookfield Asset Management (BAM.TO, BAM) on Thursday said Alper Daglioglu joined the company to lead the firm's newly formed Investment Solutions Group (ISG).

Oaktree Capital Management Co-Chairman Howard Marks will serve as Chair of ISG.

The company said ISG will develop tailored multi-asset portfolio solutions that leverage Brookfield's full suite of investment capabilities across renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit. It will also leverage the strategies of its partner manager firms, including Oaktree, Castlelake, Primary Wave and Pinegrove Capital Partners, among others.

In separate news, Barclays (BCS) said Thursday that it will form a new joint venture with Brookfield Asset Management to separate and grow its UK payment acceptance unit, with the goal of strengthening the business and preparing it for a potential sale. The bank said it plans to inject around 400 million British pounds ($529.5 million) over the next three years, while Brookfield will offer operational expertise and may eventually acquire a controlling interest.

Barclays said that from year three to year seven of the agreement, Brookfield could buy about 70% of the business at market value, with an initial performance-linked incentive converting to a further 10% stake if the deal proceeds.

U.S.-listed shares of the company were last seen up 0.9% at $48.42
in pre-market trading.
