Outsourced distribution for outstanding investment strategies

We provide distribution for high-quality, differentiated investment strategies seeking access to the UK,
Irish and Swiss intermediary markets.

We partner with and raise capital for the next wave of successful boutique fund managers

Focusing on best in class

We collaborate with a select group of exceptional fund managers, offering well-defined, disciplined and proven investment strategies.
Through these partnerships, our goal is to provide fund buyers with the very best investment strategies, built by smaller, lesser-known, but highly experienced managers.
Focused and more agile than larger peers, these firms concentrate on fewer and often single strategies, with proven track records for delivering differentiated and sought- after returns.
Our role is to showcase fund managers’ impressive alpha-delivering skills to our established network of UK and European intermediaries; offering a fully outsourced, distribution solution for the long term.

BCP is delighted to announce a foundational distribution partnership with leading US value equity manager,

BCP is proud to support the Atlantic Puffin, in association with the Scottish Seabird Centre

Distinctiveness

Much like the vibrant orange beak, BCP stands out from industry peers by showcasing only truly differentiated investment strategies.

Key to survival in the challenging environments Puffins inhabit is the ability to adapt. Likewise, our services are designed to be future-focused, flexible and responsive to the evolving demands of investors, leveraging the latest technology and driving innovation.
Puffins are known for their ability to withstand harsh conditions and dive deep into the ocean for food, embodying resilience and determination. Likewise, we have built BCP to be robust and enduring, cemented in a strong sense of purpose.
Their diminutive size makes Puffins unintimidating. They are viewed as expressive, curious and cheerful – characteristics that could describe Rodger and the broader BCP team.
Puffins are highly social creatures nesting in large colonies, reflecting the importance of community, cooperation, and teamwork. Similarly, BCP believes in developing supportive and collaborative partnerships, with shared values, incentives and goals.
The loyalty seen in puffins is reflected in our focus on long-term fund manager partnerships and commitment to investor relationships founded on openness and trust.
“We are delighted to partner with BCP to support our vital work in marine conservation and education. Scotland’s seabird populations, including the much-loved puffin, face urgent threats from biodiversity loss and climate change. On Island in East Scotland, puffin numbers dropped from 10,000 pairs to under control..”

Florence Gygax, Partnership Development Manager, Scottish Seabird Centre

We’re delighted to share an update from the Scottish Seabird Centre on their SOS Puffins project, now in its 17th year!

In their 2024 conservation highlights, you can find out about the incredible work they do which is having a positive impact not only on puffin colonies, but also on other seabirds, marine mammals and Scottish
coastal pollution.
