The Bureau of Asset Management
The Bureau of Asset Management (BAM) at the University of British Columbia's Sauder
School of Business was formed in 1990 with two key objectives.
First, to encourage and promote research in the broad range
of topics under the theme of "asset management".
Second, to improve the amount and quality of communication
between the Sauder School of Business
and the business community.
Given the broadest interpretation, asset management covers real assets,
financial assets and corporate assets. Members of the Finance,
Urban Land Economics, and other divisions within the Sauder
School of Business are actively researching topics in these
areas, and the business community would find many of the results
of interest.
BAM will carry out this objective through several forums,
including "executive briefing sessions", in which
highly regarded academics and practitioners share their research
results with the business community, and longer round-table
discussions involving academics and practitioners, designed
to explore important asset management problems and solutions.
Seminars with presentations by expert practitioners and academics
are also offered. Finally, BAM will provide research support
to faculty members to encourage them to carry out research
in a broad range of topics in asset management.
In these BAM events, the business community will provide valuable
guidance by sharing with the faculty their view of important
asset management problems and restrictions.
Initial capital funding to establish the BAM endowment was provided
by: The Real Estate Foundation of B.C., The Vancouver Stock
Exchange and The Sauder School of
Business, UBC.
Additional research funds have been received from ICREIM. This financial
support is gratefully acknowledged.
