WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH
The Corporate & Investor Relations (CIR) department is the corporate face and voice to BCI's internal and external audiences.

CIR functions as the primary interface with our clients and strives to represent their specific interests and unique needs internally.

CIR works closely with governing fiduciaries and trustees and, working with our BCI colleagues, assists clients with developing their investment strategies, policies, and objectives.

Within CIR, Client Partnerships acts as the bridge between BCI and our clients — advocating for and representing their interests.

The Client Reporting Team within Client Partnerships was established in November 2020 to take an enterprise view on client reporting.
