It's personal. It always has been.
All of us at Bessemer are thinking of the individuals and communities around the world affected by the coronavirus. When we prepared our 2019 annual report, our way of life was very different. While some might question our publishing this report now, we see it differently.
Our report reflects who we are as a firm, why our service culture is distinct, and how strong our financial footing is. These foundational elements provide the wherewithal to serve you effectively, ride out tough times, and prepare for better ones.
As we navigate this evolving global crisis, our central focus remains on the wellbeing of our clients and employees. For us, these relationship are personal and always have been.
