DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
The Investment Strategy & Risk department plays a key role in setting, implementing, and monitoring the long-term strategies of BCI’s clients.

Investment Strategy & Risk consists of three branches: Strategic Asset Allocation, Total Fund Management, and Investment Risk.
Strategic Asset Allocation assists clients with developing tailored investment policies that achieve investment objectives consistent with their investment philosophies, funding policies and risk tolerances.

Total Fund Management is responsible for implementing a suite of total portfolio solutions such as rebalancing and for setting pool, asset class, and total fund measures of success, including benchmarks and performance objectives.
