Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates through five distinct operating segments that earn management fees from each respective investment strategy. The performance of these segments is reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, who acts as the CODM. The CODM uses internal management reports to assess performance and allocate resources, and the information provided herein is consistent with the Company's internal reporting structure and information reviewed by the CODM on a regular basis. The Company's operating segments are comprised of:
•Infrastructure: Primarily includes managing our flagship infrastructure fund series focused on investing in high-quality infrastructure assets on a value basis. In addition, we manage permanent capital vehicles and perpetual strategies which include BIP, listed on the NYSE and TSX.
•Energy: Primarily includes managing our flagship renewable power and transition fund series focused on investments aimed at accelerating the global transition to a net-zero carbon economy and driving clean energy investments in emerging markets. In addition, we manage BEP, which is listed on the NYSE and TSX.
•Private Equity: Includes managing our global opportunistic flagship funds, special investments strategy, secondaries strategy, thematic private equity strategies and regional private equity strategies. In addition, we manage BBUC which is a publicly traded global business services and industrials company focused on owning and operating high-quality providers of essential products and services listed on the NYSE and TSX.
•Real Estate: Includes the management of our opportunistic real estate flagship fund series and secondaries strategy. In addition, we manage BPG and certain other perpetual funds focused on core plus assets and a non-traded REIT.
•Credit: Includes managing our private credit strategies, opportunistic credit strategies, structured credit strategies, and liquid credit strategies. These products seek to provide flexible, specialized capital solutions to borrowers and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to our clients across a range of debt strategies.
Asset information by segment is not disclosed because this information is not used by the CODM to make resource deployment decisions or evaluate the performance of the Company's segments.
Segment Revenues
Segment Revenues is a key metric analyzed by the CODM to determine the growth in recurring cash flows from our asset management business. Segment Revenues include base management fees, advisory fees, performance fees and transaction fees, but excludes incentive distributions, carried interest and revenues of consolidated funds. In addition, Segment Revenues include management fees earned by Oaktree on a 100% basis along with our share of Segment Earnings of partner managers excluding Oaktree. See below for our reconciliation of total revenues as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations to Segment Revenues.

Expenses such as depreciation and amortization, taxes, interest expense, mark-to-market gains (losses), transaction related costs, non-recurring gains (losses), deferred compensation, and expenses of consolidated funds are not reflective of segment performance and are therefore excluded from Segment Expenses.
