A Closer Look

British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) began operations under the Public Sector Pension Plans Act in 2000 to provide investment services to British Columbia’s public sector. We generate the investment returns to help our institutional clients build a financially secure future. With our global outlook we seek investment opportunities that convert savings into productive capital that will meet our clients’ risk and return requirements over time. We offer investment options across a range of strategies and asset classes including public and private equity, infrastructure and renewable resources, fixed income and private debt, as well as real estate equity and real estate debt through our independently operated platform company QuadReal Property Group.

We focus on understanding our clients’ different investment needs – whether managing pension funds on behalf of plan trustees, growing capital reserves for insurance funds, or generating income for trust funds.

We invest inline with our clients’ investment frameworks and policies, as well as applicable legislation and regulations. BCI assists with developing strategies that take into account our clients’ investment objective, risk management requirements, and investment beliefs.

Our Vision

Partnering with clients to secure financial futures in a changing world.
