LETTER TO UNITHOLDERS

Dear Unitholders,

We are pleased to provide this Interim Management Report of Fund Performance for the BrookfieldSelect Opportunities Income Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (the “Period”).

The Fund was created with the objectives to (i) provide holders of units (“Unitholders”) with quarterlycash distributions; (ii) maximize total return for Unitholders through distributions and capitalappreciation; and (iii) preserve capital. The quarterly distributions are currently targeted at $0.15 perUnit or $0.60 per annum. To achieve this level of income, the Fund invests primarily in fixed income andequity securities on a global basis (the “Portfolio”). The Fund focuses on, but is not limited to,investments in high yield corporate debt and publicly-listed equity securities of infrastructure and realestate companies.

As at June 30, 2018, the net asset value per Unit was $4.69 compared to a net asset value per Unit of$5.03 as at December 31, 2017. For the Period, the Fund had a total return of -0.59% including assumedreinvestment of the Fund’s two quarterly distributions to Unitholders during the Period of $0.15 perUnit.

At the end of the Period, the Portfolio's investments in fixed income securities were approximately 37%of holdings with approximately 63% in equities, which was not a material change from positioning as atDecember 31, 2017. The Portfolio’s fixed income investments were primarily in high yield bonds in theinfrastructure, real estate and natural resources sectors. At the end of the period, the Fund’s equityholdings were invested principally in listed infrastructure equities and, to a lesser extent, naturalresources, real estate, and other equities.

Outlook

The following is our outlook for each of our three focus investment areas:

High Yield Corporate Debt: At mid-year, market spreads in the high-yield market were relatively tightfor late-cycle, while investment-grade spreads widened significantly. We continue to believe thatthere is value in the infrastructure debt space. However, in view of heightened competition in theconsumer-facing telecommunications businesses, we favour more pure-play telecommunicationsinfrastructure opportunities, such as towers. We note that many leveraged electrical utility companiesare taking steps to reduce debt which could result in ratings increases, (and possibly higher bondprices). We continue to hold a mixed view toward metals. Trade barriers and underinvestment has ledto higher prices. However, many global producers have emerging market exposure and we note atendency on the part of some host countries to re-negotiate operating agreements to the detriment ofmining companies. Longer term, we believe China will continue retiring capacity for environmentalreasons which will serve to tighten future supply.

Overall we view credit markets cautiously. This has been the second longest expansion in modernhistory. With the Federal Reserve firmly tightening, and the prospects for higher federal governmentdeficits due to recent tax cuts and interest rate increases, we see more and more signs of classiclate-cycle indicators. As such, we believe the portfolio's positioning is an appropriate way to harvestyield without taking undue late-cycle interest rate or credit risk.

Infrastructure Equities: We remain optimistic on the energy infrastructure sector based on a number offactors. We believe volume growth is strong, valuations are compelling and we think capital marketsare rewarding the right projects. Additionally, corporate governance structures are improving and ourconversations with management teams reinforce the notion that the shift toward models that are lessreliant on equity markets to fund growth is taking place.

2018 Interim Management Report of Fund Performance | 3

Headwinds of higher interest rates (relative to recent history) continue to weigh on utilities in the nearterm. Overall, we maintain our preference for utilities exposed to low-cost renewables generation.Additionally, regulatory risk in California remains a concern and we continue to monitor thedevelopments coming out of the state. Regulatory risk is also a concern among Chinese utilities.

Within transports, traffic growth in Continental Europe and Latin America remains strong as consumerconfidence increases; and real interest rates remain low across the eurozone. We remain cautious onthe political situation in Mexico and the evolving macroeconomic picture in countries like Argentinaand Brazil.

Economic indicators around the globe appear to be generally positive. However, increasing headwindsin the form of global geopolitical uncertainty could slow global growth. As interest rates continue tomove higher, we remain cautious around some sectors within the listed infrastructure universe that aremore sensitive to these moves. As a group, listed infrastructure valuations are currently verycompelling compared to broader equities and we see potential for these stocks to outperform over thelonger term.

Real Estate Equities: After selling off early in the year in response to concerns about higher interestrates, we are encouraged by the turnaround in REIT performance during the second quarter of 2018.The U.S. economy remains healthy as we continue to see jobs growth and improving GDP—both of whichare positive for real estate. The current real estate cycle has had much more limited supply growththan prior cycles, which has helped to keep supply and demand relatively well balanced. We are alsoseeing strong rent growth across a number of property types. The U.S. REIT market on average tradesnear Net Asset Value (NAV), although many individual companies trade at a significant discount to NAV.

We continue to prefer investing in companies with strong balance sheets and have increasingly focusedour portfolio on companies with below average levels of leverage. We believe this is important from aportfolio construction standpoint in the current environment as we believe economic growth may beaccompanied by higher interest rates. We also believe companies with low leverage will perform betterif we experience a down-turn in the current business cycle.

Overall valuation spreads between the cheapest and the most expensive stocks have widenedsignificantly over the last three years, creating attractive relative value opportunities. We believe thisspread will narrow with time and we continue to focus on bottom-up security selection to find the bestrisk-adjusted investment opportunities.

We welcome your questions and comments, and encourage you to contact our Investor Relations teamat (855) 777-8001 or visit us at www.brookfield.com for more information. Thank you for your support.

The Fund invests in a portfolio (the “Portfolio”) comprised primarily of fixed income and equitysecurities on a global basis. The Fund focuses on, but is not limited to, investments in high yieldcorporate debt and publicly listed equity securities of infrastructure and real estate companies.Brookfield Investment Management (Canada) Inc. ("BIM Canada") is the manager (the “Manager”) of theFund and BIM is the Investment Manager of the Fund.

RISK

At June 30, 2018, approximately 37% of the Portfolio's invested capital was invested in high yield fixedincome securities and 63% was invested in equity securities. By geography, 58.5% of the portfolio wasinvested in the United States, 32.1% in Canada and 9.4% in Continental Europe, the United Kingdom,and Asia Pacific. The Portfolio holdings are exposed to various risks including risks related to the creditquality of the issuers of the securities, the trading liquidity of the securities and the currency in whichthe securities are denominated. The Fund seeks to minimize the potentially adverse effects of theserisks on the Portfolio’s performance by employing experienced portfolio managers and by continuouslymonitoring the Portfolio’s securities positions and markets.

Currency risk can be mitigated with the use of forward currency contracts which the Fund may use fromtime to time. At the end of the Period, the Portfolio had slightly lower net exposure to foreign currencythan at the end of the prior year. As at June 30, 2018, the Fund’s net exposure to foreign currency was26.04% of Net Assets (December 31, 2017 – 29.93%).

Brookfield Select Opportunities Income Fund

2018 Interim Management Report of Fund Performance | 5

As at June 30, 2018, the Fund had exposure to forward currency contracts and equity total returnswaps. The Investment Manager seeks to mitigate the counterparty risk arising from such arrangementsthrough the careful selection of its derivative contract counterparties. As at June 30, 2018, the Fundheld six positions through equity total return swaps representing $7.7 million of exposure (as atDecember 31, 2017, the Fund held six positions through equity total return swaps representing$8.9 million of exposure). As at June 30, 2018, the Fund also had US$17.5 million (December 31, 2017- US$17.5 million) of net forward currency contracts in place to protect against a strengthening in theCanadian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

For discussion of the Fund’s use of leverage, please see “Results of Operations”.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Fund began operations on May 23, 2014 when it completed an initial public offering of 19,200,000units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $192.0 million and net proceeds of$181.1 million after deducting issuance costs of approximately $10.9 million.

The Fund’s net asset value was $46.4 million as at June 30, 2018, a decrease of $3.3 million from$49.7 million as at December 31, 2017. The decrease in net asset value was largely comprised of theoperating loss of $0.4 million and $2.9 million paid in distributions to Unitholders.

As at June 30, 2018, the net asset value (“NAV”) per Unit was $4.69 compared to $5.03 as atDecember 31, 2017. For the Period, the Fund had a total return of -0.59% including assumedreinvestment of the Fund's two quarterly distributions to Unitholders during the Period of $0.15 perUnit.

Overall, the Fund's bond portfolio contributed positively to overall returns. Within the bond portfolio,portfolio holdings in Energy Transportation and Distribution ("T&D"), Health Facilities, and Metals &Mining contributed to performance. The bulk of the Energy T&D bonds are concentrated in midstreamdistribution and processing which benefited from higher energy prices and production out of theirrespective basins. Bond laggards were in the Construction and Building Materials, Real EstateOwnership & Development, and Energy Exploration & Production sectors. The Fund maintained arelatively low level of leverage, ending the six months at 10.8%, in anticipation of potentially bettervaluations in the high yield market.

Leverage is restricted to 25% of the total assets of the Fund. Accordingly, at the time of borrowing, themaximum amount of leverage that the Fund could employ is 1.33:1 (total long positions, includingleveraged positions, divided by net assets of the Fund). As at June 30, 2018, the Fund had employedleverage equal to 10.8% (as at December 31, 2017 – 11.7%) of the total net assets of the Fund, whichequates to $5.0 million (December 31, 2017 – $5.8 million). The minimum and maximum amount ofborrowings outstanding during the Period were $3.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Theminimum and maximum amount of borrowings outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2017were $0.0 and $13.5 million, respectively. The borrowings were used to grow the Fund’s investmentsand for working capital needs. Adding a controlled amount of leverage to the Fund is consistent withthe Fund’s objectives.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the Fund received tenders for the redemption of 2,759,580 units of theFund in connection with the Fund's annual redemption. Of the 2,759,580 units tendered forredemption, 410,241 units were tendered by BIM Canada. The redemption proceeds were paid in earlyAugust 2018.
