Access for private investors
BOCAP sits on the same side of the table as those we advise. As a regulated advisory firm, our only mandate is yours: every recommendation is independent, every allocation is built around your objectives, and our interests are aligned with your outcomes, not with placement of funds.
Our approach is disciplined and selective by design. We focus on preserving and compounding capital across cycles, providing direct access to managers and strategies through scale, and serving as a long-term partner to institutions, family offices, and individual investors.
We advise beside you, never as intermediaries. One advisory fee on capital advised, nothing upfront. We grow when your portfolio grows.
Every recommendation clears the same institutional-grade underwriting, then stays under continuous review long after the capital is committed.
You stay informed at every stage. We keep you in the loop on each decision and as closely involved as you wish to be, always with clear, professional advice.
You deal with the same partners at BOCAP over years, not a rotating coverage team. Relationships at BOCAP are built to span cycles and generations.
From foundational evaluation to capital deployment, every engagement is built around a single investment portfolio: yours.
We begin with the full picture, understanding your needs, objectives and obligations to set a clear, considered foundation for everything that follows.
Patient, ongoing counsel on governance and structure, with rigorous monitoring that keeps strategy and risk aligned to your goals as markets move.
Access others cannot reach: top-tier funds and exclusive opportunities, deployed with disciplined diligence and consolidated in a single dashboard view.
Filtering best managers catering to desired themes from private market databases and relationship network.
Screening funds through an investment strategy review and initial manager calls.
Request and review fund presentation, track record and due diligence documents; follow-up calls with the fund manager and external references.
Detailed investment strategy and legal review, delivering a memorandum to the clients.
Assist with the preparation and completion of KYC/AML document checklist, and wiring instructions.
Portfolio monitoring and regular update calls and reporting.
A structured, global framework for building resilient, long-term portfolios. Each pillar is a building block of strategic asset allocation: take the comprehensive approach, or select the individual pillars that complement your existing holdings.
Readily accessible reserves that preserve safety and the freedom to act on opportunity.
Uncorrelated strategies that add resilience and hold their ground when markets turn.
Income-generating assets that deliver steady, dependable cash flow through the cycle.
Equity and private-market exposure positioned to compound capital over the long horizon.
Modelled evidence rather than opinion, and your approval at every step. We work to understand your objectives fully before a single manager is presented, and each stage ends with something concrete in your hands.
We begin in a working session, aligning on objectives and expected outcomes and surfacing the parameters that shape everything that follows, from pacing and liquidity requirements to geography, preferences and operational capacity.
Allocation scenarios are stress-tested in our internal simulation model: a simulated ten-year path measuring expected return, volatility, drawdown and sustainable spending, so every trade-off is visible before a single dollar moves.
Strategy becomes a year-by-year deployment plan: commitments sized and sequenced across vintages, favouring diversification over market timing, with the flexibility to accelerate or pause as conditions change.
With the roadmap agreed, we present a pipeline of top-quartile managers across asset classes, each vetted through our investment process and matched to the allocation and pacing you have set.
Nothing is committed without you. Each opportunity moves through a staged review, from a two-page teaser to a full investment memorandum to final documentation, so you decide with complete information at every gate.
The engagement is held to milestones agreed at the outset: deployment targets, return objectives, volatility and drawdown thresholds, each with a clear escalation path when limits are tested. The plan itself is re-examined every year.
Allocators take time to evaluate an advisor’s methodology, governance, and discipline, and we believe that scrutiny is how durable relationships begin.
Our engagement model reflects this. We invest in the relationship early, through research, dialogue and demonstrated process, well before any formal appointment. Trust established on that foundation endures across cycles, and like capital, it compounds.
