BCI

We’re proud to see Corix’s work positively impacting our local communities, including at the new Oakridge Park development by QuadReal Property Group. Corix is a BCI Infrastructure & Renewable Resources portfolio company. They design, build, install, and maintain highly efficient district energy systems, which conserve energy by redirecting unused heating or cooling towards other buildings in the district – ultimately lowering overall energy use in the community. We look forward to seeing more exciting projects be announced and completed by Corix! #Sustainability #LowCarbon #Oakridgepark #DistrictEnergy

BCI is honoured to welcome The Four Pillars Society, a not-for-profit organization representing 325 First Nations across Canada, as our client. The Four Pillars Society was established following a class action lawsuit settlement by the Canadian Government to support revitalization and protection of language, culture, heritage, and well-being for Indigenous communities.  We look forward to working in partnership to support this important mandate!

We are grateful to Evan Gordon Greenfield, Managing Director at BCI, for organising and hosting the inaugural Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Value Creation Conference in New York last week. Our very own Neil Prior, BMS's Group Head of Environmental & Social Responsibility, had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion that explored and quantified the scope and growth potential of various products in the insurance and reinsurance sectors.   BCI brought together a diverse group of companies from their investment portfolio, including BMS, as well as representatives from numerous private equity firms. The events agenda offered insightful thought leadership and reinforced the idea that an ESG-driven approach to product development and innovation will result in positive outcomes and value creation for all involved.   #insurance #reinsurance #ESG #sustainability

Jim Pittman recently represented BCI at the #GlobalAltsMiami 2025 conference, where he joined an engaging panel discussion on "Growth Equity: A Goldilocks Option."   The panel delved into market resets, the transformative impact of AI, and the evolving landscape of growth equity and exit strategies.   Discussion highlights include: 🔷 We’re shifting from unsustainable COVID-era growth to a more balanced, healthier deal environment; the current growth equity market is arguably the best since 2009 🔷 There’s a shift from IPOs as the primary exit strategy, with increased acquisitions by strategic and financial sponsors 🔷 CEOs are pivoting from a "growth at all costs" mindset to building sustainable businesses with an increased focus on value creation 🔷 AI is accelerating market disruption across industries and we’re seeing pure AI application leaders emerging, making it a ripe area for growth equity   Curious to learn more about BCI Private Equity’s views on AI?
