Brookfield Corp.’s earnings soared in the second quarter, boosted by strong results from its wealth solutions business as the company hunts for growth outside its home markets.

The Toronto-based investment firm, which owns a majority stake in Brookfield Asset Management, reported distributable earnings of $1.26 billion, or 80 cents a share, excluding gains on asset sales. That rose 19% over the same period a year ago.
