AUM Increase Driven by Advanced Technology and Doubling Down on Personalization

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nuveen, a leading global investment manager, today reported on the accelerated scale, performance and evolution of Brooklyn, a differentiated custom multi-asset direct indexing platform, highlighting growth across AUM, clients served, product capabilities and talent in the 12 months since the firm was acquired by Nuveen.

“Under the Nuveen umbrella, Brooklyn has gained our full backing, including every element of operational and functional support required to eliminate friction and free up the team to focus on what they do best: delivering a differentiated client experience, exceptional technology and product innovation,” said Bill Huffman, CEO of Nuveen. “The first 12 months following an acquisition are crucial to its success. I’m immensely proud of the entire team that rallied together to keep clients at the forefront of everything we do while flawlessly executing against our acquisition playbook.”

Growth by the Numbers

Since June 2025, driven by both new advisor relationships and existing advisors expanding their client portfolios, Nuveen and Brooklyn together have:

Grown Brooklyn’s AUM by approximately 8x to $8.1 billion1, with tax-advantaged long/short strategies accounting for roughly half of that growthMore than doubled the number of advisors on the platformIncreased the total number of accounts by more than 600%

Enhanced Capabilities

Through the integration of Nuveen’s alternatives expertise into Brooklyn’s personalized portfolio construction, the platform has meaningfully broadened clients’ access to private markets exposure through interval funds. Approximately 10% of accounts now hold interval funds as part of their overall allocation — a tangible demonstration of the combined platform’s ability to deliver sophisticated, tax-efficient solutions at scale.

Investing in Talent and Leveraging Deep Investment Expertise

Deepening the connection between Nuveen’s investment team and the Brooklyn platform, select members of Nuveen’s equities team began taking on additional responsibilities in June 2026 to support Brooklyn’s quantitative research processes, bringing the deep expertise of Nuveen’s equity analysts directly into Brooklyn’s investment process.

New website helps parents get kids active and reduce their screen time

Published

on

By

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — Active for Life today launched ItsChildsPlay.ca, a free website that shows parents how to get their kids moving and off their screens.

The World Health Organization identifies physical activity as essential to health and well-being from the earliest years. Science finds that play builds executive function, social skills like negotiation and cooperation, motor development, and the ability to regulate stress and anxiety. Yet most Canadian children and youth fall well short:

80% do not get the recommended two hours of daily active play.63% do not get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity.

Parents know these facts, but many remain uncertain about how to get their children moving, especially so when overwhelmed with the struggle to limit their children’s screen time.

ItsChildsPlay.ca provides practical solutions that show parents how easy it is to engage in fun activities with their children at home without costly equipment, struggle or stress.

ItsChildsPlay.ca was created by Active for Life, a web-based initiative that helps educators and parents build active play into children’s lives. The site is being promoted with a series of radio ads across Canada, with help from the Pro Bono Group.

Quotes

“For fifteen years, parents have been telling the Active for Life team that getting children to engage in active play is hard. We understand the challenge,” said Richard Monette, who leads Active for Life. “This is why we built ItsChildsPlay.ca: a resource for parents that’s easy to use, takes minutes a day and is good for their child’s body and mind.”

Fall brings increased demand for short-distance travel among commuters and families, from daily commutes and local errands to weekend outdoor activities. Compared with driving, electric scooters offer a practical alternative for shorter journeys, helping riders save money on gas and on parking while avoiding traffic jams and making everyday trips more efficient.

With a broad product lineup, the Ausom Fall Sale campaign supports various riding needs, including daily commuting, recreational rides, and more demanding travel conditions.

Leading this campaign is the L2 Max Dual Motor, a premium e-scooter designed for riders who prioritize performance and value. Its powerful dual-motor system delivers up to 2,688W of peak power and a top speed of 38 mph, backed by a high-capacity battery with a range of up to 56 miles. This e-scooter also features ShocFree™ suspension, a dual swingarm suspension system built with aerospace-grade materials to improve durability and absorb road impacts from uneven surfaces. Paired with puncture-resistant tubeless tires, the suspension system provides a more comfortable riding experience for outdoor adventures in the fall.

For everyday riding, the L2 Max Dual Motor is equipped with dual disc brakes with E-ABS for responsive braking, along with a full lighting system for enhanced visibility. Practical features such as a hidden AirTag mount and NFC and passcode unlocking add convenience and security to daily rides.

Beyond the L2 Max Dual Motor, the campaign also highlights the DT2 Pro and Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor, offering additional options for riders looking for different levels of performance and versatility. For outdoor enthusiasts requiring greater range and performance, the DT2 Pro off-road e-scooter stands out with a 71-mile range, 2,912W of peak power, and a top speed of 40 mph. Building on the L2 Max Dual Motor’s practical feature set, the DT2 Pro upgrades the braking system to hydraulic disc brakes with E-ABS for stronger stopping power and better control.

The Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor e-scooter provides an affordable entry into high-performance dual-motor riding, making it an ideal choice for riders new to this level of performance. With 2,800W of peak output, a top speed of up to 36 mph, and the ability to handle inclines of up to 33%, it is a capable electric scooter for short trips, tackling hilly routes and varied terrain during fall outings. The 56-mile range supports short-distance round trips, and its foldable design allows it to be combined with public transportation for greater travel flexibility.

During the 23-day promotion, selected Ausom electric scooters will be available at limited-time discounts, with savings of up to $240.
