25 years ago, BCI began with a focused approach: traditional public market investments managing $61 billion for four founding clients. Today, we manage $295 billion across a sophisticated mix of asset classes for 32 clients. From traditional public markets, we've built a diversified portfolio spanning real estate, infrastructure, private equity, corporate bonds, and absolute return strategies. Each addition strengthened our ability to generate consistent, long-term risk-adjusted returns and gives our clients more tailored portfolios to achieve their specific investment goals. The lesson after 25 years? Stay agile. Stay innovative. See change as opportunity.
