A Long-Term Investor

Our clients have obligations that extend beyond 70 years. As their investment manager, we are responsible for ensuring that they can meet their long-term funding needs to pay pensions and finance the insurance and benefit funds within British Columbia. Our commitment to our clients underpins everything we do. BCI invests in quality assets and stable companies with the potential to appreciate in value and provide reliable cash flows in the years to come. Our outlook, strategies, and approach are driven by longer term considerations.

We report the annualized pension returns and cumulative value added on an annual basis for the fiscal year-end March 31. This reflects the investments of BCI’s six largest pension clients.
