                                     GENERAL

      This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the Board of Directors of BMC Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") of proxies for use at the
annual meeting of shareholders and at any and all adjournments thereof (the
"annual meeting" or the "meeting") to be held at The Registry Resort & Club, 475

Point, 5001 Coconut Road, Bonita Springs, Florida, on Saturday, February 26, 2005,25,
2006, at 9:00 a.m., for the purpose of considering and acting upon the matters
specified in the accompanying notice of the meeting and detailed below. The Fund
is soliciting such proxies by mail on behalf of its Board of Directors and is
bearing the expenses of the solicitation. This proxy statement and the enclosed
proxy form are first being sent to shareholders on or about January 26, 2005.30, 2006.

      The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on January 25, 200510, 2006
as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the meeting. On the record date, 4,933,281 shares of Common Stock
of the Fund were issued and outstanding, each share being entitled to one vote.
Information concerning beneficial ownership of Common Stock by principal
shareholders and by the management of the Fund is set forth below. See
"Principal  Shareholders""Beneficial Ownership of Principal Shareholders and Management" and "Certain
Beneficial Ownership  Information
ConcerningInterests of Directors in the Fund," below.

      Shares represented by proxies will be voted by the proxy agents named
therein unless such proxies are revoked. The proxy agents will vote the proxies
that they hold in accordance with the choices specified by the person giving the
proxy. If the enclosed proxy reflects no specification but is properly signed,
the proxy agents will vote the shares represented thereby for the election of
the slate of nominees listed on the proxy and in favor of the proposed amendment
to  the  Fund's  Investment  Objectives  and  Policies.proxy.

      Any shareholder who submits the accompanying proxy has the right to revoke
it by notifying the Secretary of the Fund in writing at any time prior to the
voting of the proxy. A proxy is suspended if the person giving the proxy attends
the meeting and elects to vote in person.

      The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in
person or by proxy, constitute a quorum for purposes of the matters to be
considered at the annual meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at
a meeting, it is considered present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the
meeting and any adjournment thereof (unless a new record date is set for the
adjourned meeting). Abstentions and shares which are withheld as to voting with
respect to a proposal are counted in determining the existence of a quorum, but
shares held by a broker, as nominee, and not voted on any matter will not be
counted for such purpose.

Assuming the existence of a quorum, the persons receiving a plurality of
the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote will be elected as directors. The
proposal  to  approve  the  amendment  to  the  Fund's Investment Objectives and
Policies  will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the
votes  cast against it.
Abstentions, shares which are withheld as to voting with respect to a proposal
and shares held of record by a broker, as nominee, that are not voted with
respect to a proposal will not be counted as a vote in favor of or against the
proposal and, therefore, will have no effect on anythe election of the
proposals  described  in  this  proxy  statement.directors.

      The Board of Directors is not aware of any business to come before the
meeting other than the matters described in the accompanying notice of the
meeting. If any other matters of business are properly presented at the meeting,
however, the proxy agents will vote upon such matters in accordance with their
best judgment.

                       PROPOSAL 1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

      The bylaws of the Fund provide that the number of directors of the Fund
shall be not less than three nor more than 15. Those members of the Board of
Directors who are considered not to be "interested persons" of the Fund, as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), have
approved the selection and nomination of each candidate who, if elected, would
be a director under the 1940 Act. Unless contrary action is specified by a
shareholder on the enclosed proxy, the proxy agents named in the proxy intend to
vote the proxies received by them for the election of the 11 nominees listed
below, who, if elected, will hold office until the next annual meeting of
shareholders and until their respective successors have been elected and
qualified. All of the nominees are currently serving as directors of the Fund
except  Brent  B.  Kincaid,  who  is  a  first-time  nominee.

     It  is not anticipated thatFund.

      If any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve;  however,  if  that  should  occur,serve, the proxies
shall be voted for a replacement nominee designated by the present Board of
Directors or the number of directors to be elected shall be reduced.

      The corporation laws of North Carolina, under which the Fund is
incorporated, provide that shareholders of a company, such as the Fund,
incorporated before July 7, 1957, under a charter not granting the right of
cumulative voting and which has at the time of the election of directors one
shareholder who owns or controls more than 25% of the company's voting stock
shall have the right to cumulate their votes for directors. Because no
shareholder currently owns or controls more than 25% of the Fund's voting
shares, cumulative voting will not be available to shareholders of the Fund at
the meeting.

On May 25, 2004, Paul H. Broyhill and certain other members of the Fund's Board of Directors who are related to Jan E. Gordon provided a personal guaranty for a loan in the amount of $300,000 secured by Jan E. Gordon. The guarantors were released from all obligations with respect to the loan on July 26, 2004. 11 PROPOSAL 2 -- AMENDMENTS TO INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Board of Directors of the Fund has proposed that shareholders approve an amendment to the Fund's Investment Objectives and Policies (the "Policies") that would clarify the Fund's authority to make indirect investments in commodities and commodity contracts. Section XI.b.vi. of the Policies currently states: The Fund will not invest in commodities or commodity contracts. The Board proposes that Section XI.b.vi. of the Policies be amended (the "Amendment") to state: The Fund will not invest in physical commodities or acquire contracts to purchase or sell in the future physical commodities (also known as commodity contracts or future contracts), but this limitation shall not prevent the Fund from making indirect investments in commodities and futures contracts. Indirect investments may include, for example, investments in a mutual fund, a closed-end fund, a limited partnership, or a similar investment vehicle that is backed by commodities and futures contracts, and investments in shares of a commodity company, such as a mining venture. The value of any indirect commodity or futures contract investment, together with the value of all other investments in commodities-backed securities and instruments, may not exceed 20% of the value of the assets of the Fund at the time of the investment. This policy shall not affect the Fund's ability to invest in Fortune 1000 energy companies. The purpose of the Amendment is to make it clear that (i) the prohibition in the Policies applicable to commodities and commodity contracts applies to investments in physical commodities (a few examples are energy, livestock, grains, industrial and precious metals and "soft" commodities such as coffee, sugar and cotton) and to the acquisition of futures contracts to purchase physical commodities, and (ii) the Fund does have the authority to make indirect investments in commodities and futures contracts by acquiring securities or other interests in investment vehicles that are backed by commodities and commodities futures. An example of such an investment vehicle is a commodity index that provides passive exposure to a broad range of commodities. The Fund historically has interpreted the Policies' prohibition on investing in commodities to prohibit investments in physical commodities and futures contracts to purchase physical commodities and, thus, to allow investments in investment vehicles that are backed by commodities and commodities futures. However, out of an abundance of caution, the Board has determined to seek the shareholders' approval of the proposed amendment to clarify the Fund's authority in this regard. 12 Commodities and commodity indices represent an asset class that can diversify a portfolio and provide a hedge against rising inflation. This is because rising inflation puts downward pressure on most investment assets, while commodities usually increase in value during periods of rising inflation. Introducing into a portfolio investments in commodities that do not move in sync with each other, or with other classes of assets in the portfolio, enhances diversification and helps reduce the overall volatility of the portfolio. Though not as risky as direct investments in commodities and futures contracts, indirect investments in commodities as described above are subject to risks. For example: - investments in commodities investment vehicles often are not liquid; - investment models used by managers of commodities investment vehicles may be incorrect and may not perform as anticipated; - managers of commodities investment vehicles may use options, short selling, non-exchange traded contracts and derivatives that are highly speculative and could result in a loss of the value of the Fund's investment; - managers of commodities investment vehicles may use leverage, which may increase volatility and reduce returns; and - commodities investment vehicles are subject to risks associated with the market sectors in which they invest. As an example of the kinds of risks that indirect investments in commodities are subject to, in 2004 the Fund invested $6 million in the BTOP50 CTA Index Fund (the "BTOP50 Fund"). The BTOP50 Fund invests its assets in managed commodities and futures trading advisor programs included in the Barclay CTA Index, a widely followed global managed futures index. The Fund acquired $3 million of its investment in the BTOP50 Fund on November 1, 2003 and the remaining $3 million on October 29, 2004 and liquidated it at a loss of $667,607 on October 29, 2004. It should be noted that investments in funds such as the BTOP50 Fund normally are expected to be long-term investments characterized by short-term fluctuations in value. The Board decided to liquidate its BTOP50 Fund investments, however, after deciding to seek shareholder approval of the proposed amendment to the Policies described above. Under the 1940 Act, the policy with respect to investments in commodities and commodity contracts cannot be changed without shareholder approval. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. 13 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND AUDIT FEES SELECTION OF AUDITORSSelection of Auditors The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Fund, at a meeting to be held prior to the annual meeting of shareholders, intends to select the firm of Dixon Hughes PLLC as the Fund's independent auditors for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2004.2005. Dixon Hughes PLLC has served as the Fund's independent auditor since April 17, 2001. Neither Dixon Hughes PLLC nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with the Fund in any capacity other than as independent public auditors. A representative of Dixon Hughes PLLC willis expected to attend the meeting via teleconference. The representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Tax fees were incurred in connection with federal, state and local tax planning and advice, including advice regarding the calculation of dividends and other distributions the Fund is required to make in order to preserve its status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The fees listed under "All Other Fees" above were incurred in connection with the preparation and printing of the Fund's semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004,2005, Dixon Hughes PLLC did not utilize any leased personnel in connection with the audit. PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURESPre-Approval Policies and Procedures The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires the Audit Committee to approve all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by an independent auditing firm. The Audit Committee has established a general pre-approval policy for certain non-audit services, up to a total of $15,000 during any fiscal year. All of the services described above were approved in accordance 14 with the Audit Committee's pre-approval policy. As a result, none of such services were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
