BCI has once again earned a perfect score from Global SWF in its 2025 Governance, Sustainability and Resilience (GSR) Scoreboard, positioning us among just nine institutional investors worldwide demonstrating the highest industry standards.  

“For 25 years, strong governance and responsible investing practices have underpinned BCI’s approach – enabling us to deliver for our clients and create enduring value in British Columbia and beyond. Earning this recognition for a second consecutive year reflects our continued commitment to excellence and accountability, and we’re proud to stand alongside a growing list of industry leaders.”

-Gordon J. Fyfe, CEO/CIO  

Assessing GSR best practices and performance

  Established in 2020, the GSR Scoreboard is an annual benchmark that evaluates the public disclosures of the world’s 200 largest sovereign wealth and public pension funds, which together manage a total of US$29.4 trillion across 80 countries. This year, Global SWF highlighted that while overall averages remained flat, governance scores declined for the first time since 2020 as geopolitics and trade tensions took priority and some funds pulled back on transparency – giving BCI’s achievement special significance.  

Building on a quarter century of industry leadership

  As one of Canada’s largest institutional investors managing C$295 billion in assets, our commitment to high standards in governance, sustainability, and resilience is embedded in our investment beliefs. We continue to evolve our approach in line with best practices and look for opportunities to raise the bar across the broader investment landscape. In 2024, BCI also achieved our highest score ever in the Global Pension Transparency Benchmark, which assesses the quality of public disclosures of 75 of the world’s largest pension fund investors across 15 countries, where we ranked fourth for responsible investing and fifth overall.

Our consistent performance reflects our commitment to:

  • Long-term value creation: Focus on long-term, risk-adjusted returns for our clients
  • Transparency and accountability: Public disclosure practices that exceed industry standards
  • Responsible investing: ESG integration throughout our investment decision-making process
