At Brookfield, Smith will assume client coverage from Brookfield senior vice president Eric Bonnor, who is moving to Brazil to manage investor relations and fundraising in Brookfield’s Brazilian investments.

"Brookfield has deep ties to the Canadian investor community and we are delighted that Keith has joined the firm to build on our franchise in our home market," said Leo van den Thillart, managing partner in Brookfield’s private funds group.
