Becoming World Class
We strive to be the best in the world at what we do, which in
turn helps our clients meet their objectives. To become the
best run public fund in the world, we’ll need to follow these practices.
A COLLECTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF OUR
FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE
While practices and strategies should constantly evolve with the times, our
fundamental purpose never changes. It’s our reason for existing. Our purpose
is to build meaningful futures, first and foremost for the pension plan members
we serve. 75 cents of every pension dollar a pensioner receives comes from
our investment returns. We also build meaningful futures for everyone here
at BCI, through opportunities to advance and grow, as well as the Greater
Victoria community and the global economy. The capital we invest allows
others to have meaningful futures of their own through our investments in the
businesses, assets, and properties throughout our portfolio.
CONTINUOUSLY MOVING
FORWARD
If we’re going to be the best of the best, we can never be satisfied with the
status quo. Good is never good enough. And good enough last year isn’t this
year. It’s the motivation and drive that means we can never be satisfied with
where we are, both individually and collectively. Part of that means figuring
out and pursuing what we can do better or differently, and identifying and
leveraging our competitive advantages (investing for the long-term, and
our scale).
