BCS launches unique Aussie equities approach
BCS Capital, in partnership with investment advisers Brookvine, has launched a unique Australian equities investment approach that identifies a company’s fundamental profit drivers.
BCS was established in 2007 with a team of former Barclays Global Investors fund managers, former McKinsey & Company industrial strategists and leading applied econometricians. It began managing investment funds last year. BCS chief investment officer Justin Herlihy said BCS was able to identify each company’s fundamental profit drivers “using the best insights of industrial economics and business strategy”.
“Thereafter the ability to process a mass of data on a real time basis into information about changes in share price enables BCS to capture alpha from timely and active investment decisions,” he said.
Brookvine represents BCS and will assist with its fund raising and investor relations, BCS stated. Brookvine chief executive Steven Hall said his company was attracted to BCS because of its “very distinctive and unconventional investment approach”.
