The story

BCA was founded in 1949 by A. Hamilton Bolton in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Bolton was known for his work on the Elliot Wave Theory, and he published Money and Investment Profits, a book on investments and the business cycle, just prior to his death in 1967. He was succeeded by J. Anthony Boeckh, who led the company from 1968 to 2001. During that time, Bolton's original work on supercycles was refined into what BCA calls the "debt supercycle."

Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC (now Delinian, after a 2022 rebranding), expanding its global distribution and digital capabilities.

Today, BCA Research maintains a strong international presence with clients in over 90 countries and offices in key financial hubs including London, New York, Hong Kong, and San Francisco.
