BKI was formed on the 17th October 2003 to take over and manage the investment portfolio of Brickworks Limited (BKW). BKW established the core portfolio during the 1980's with the objective to generate an increasing income stream through long term investment in a portfolio of securities that would grow over time.
Today, some 25 years since the inception of the core portfolio, BKI continues to invest in well-managed businesses with a profitable history and with the expectation of sound dividend and distribution growth.
The Group aims to generate an increasing income stream for distribution to its shareholders in the form of fully franked dividends, to the extent of its available imputation tax credits, through long-term investment in a portfolio of assets that are also able to deliver long term capital growth to shareholders.
The Group is a long-term investor in companies, trusts and interest bearing securities with a focus on Australian entities. It primarily seeks to invest in well-managed businesses with a profitable history and with the expectation of sound dividend and distribution growth.
The Group will pay the maximum amount of realised profits after tax to its shareholders in the form of fully franked dividends to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act, the Income Tax Assessment Act and prudent business practices from profits obtained through interest, dividends and other income it receives from its investments.
