How BSAAM Can Help With Your Council’s Investment Returns

As of June 30, 2016, there are 66 councils with 85 accounts that now use BSA Asset Management, LLC (BSAAM) as an investment manager. For periods ended June  30, 2016, the BSA Commingled Endowment Fund, LP earned 1.20% for the quarter, 0.92% for 1 year, 6.49% (annualized) for 3 years, and 6.58% (annualized) for 5 years, net of fees. How does that compare to your council’s investment returns?

While past performance is no indicator of future returns, the fund also has a very low cost basis which allows these councils to save significant dollars in management and trust fees. Did you know a 1% reduction in total fees could save a council $7,000 on a $100,000 portfolio over five years?*

If your council is interested in learning more about BSAAM, or if you would like to compare your endowment returns with BSAAM’s, please contact the BSAAM team at 972-580-2065, or via email at bsaam@scouting.org for a full set of offering documents and the endowment return comparison tool. There is no obligation.
