A strong heritage is rooted in an enduring legacy that can be traced many years back. The number of challenges faced and overcome in its life history measures its abilities. Over 46 years ago when Botswana had no stock markets, government debt, and no allowance for offshore markets business was not what it is today. Small buildings and scarcely scattered development projects in some parts of the country were an early sign of what is now corporate Botswana. Unlike neighboring South Africa and Zimbabwe, which inherited world-class infrastructure from, former colonial masters – Botswana and its people were to transform its pre-dominantly rural settlements into Grade A Office Parks, and Shopping Malls and create multi-million pula investments. The relatively small country of a population of 908 000 then had to change its development fortunes. It was during this time that what is now known as Botswana Insurance Fund Management (BIFM) was established in 1975. It started off as an in-house pension administration company in the erstwhile Botswana Life Insurance Limited.
