MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE |
Year Ended October 31, 2012 |
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the BMC Fund, Inc. (“BMC”) fiscal year ending October 31, 2012, investment performance was a positive 7.65%. This result is roughly equivalent with a balanced portfolio equally split between the S&P 500 and the Barclays Aggregate Bond index. Notably, we have achieved this performance with an equity allocation well below average, with the overall quality of our portfolio well above average, and while maintaining a consistent payout to shareholders. At year end, BMC’s portfolio was comprised of a 23.67% allocation of largely high quality global equities, 9.56% stock mutual funds, 28.87% fixed income, 16.40% limited partnerships and other investments, and a 21.50% cash reserve.
Most investors today are stuck in a dangerous comfort zone typified by a heavy allocation to traditional stocks and bonds. Historically, the former has provided market participants with exposure to economic growth, while the latter has offered a predictable stream of income. But past performance is not indicative of future results and the next decade promises to generate much slower growth and much lower income for investors. Disciplined, focused and flexible capital allocation will be critical in achieving long-term objectives going forward. And other things being equal, we believe a high yield is better than a low yield in this environment, as asset classes with higher yields often come with an embedded option on price appreciation as they mean revert to more normal valuations.
Given the challenges facing the global economy today and the elevated level of equity valuations, fixed income securities serve as the foundation of our asset allocation framework. However, unlike most yield-starved fixed income assets, we believe our portfolio represents an attractive mix of principal protection and upside optionality. With interest rates pegged at zero for the foreseeable future, we continue to favor “the new sovereigns” - high quality, corporate issuers with balance sheets stronger than most western world governments. At the same time our investments in mortgage-related securities provide us with upside exposure to an improving domestic housing market. Put simply, we are being paid a healthy annual cash flow on our investment, which comes with an embedded option on higher housing prices.
While the world is trapped at the “zero bound” today, we also recognize that rates won’t stay low forever, so we maintain a barbell approach to hedging both inflation and deflation risks. At one end, we believe that the cash flow produced by a heavy allocation to income generating assets provides us with a degree of principal protection and a smooth stream of returns in the event that the pace of deleveraging accelerates. At the same time, we have maintained a healthy allocation to real assets to hedge the right tail of the risk distribution. Today, gold and gold mining equities represent the majority of our exposure to natural resources. The balance is invested across a basket of MLPs, which yield a healthy 6% and provide the portfolio with a natural inflation hedge.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE |
Year Ended October 31, 2012 |
When measured in terms of the experience set of portfolio managers in the industry today, the current investment landscape and macroeconomic uncertainty is unprecedented. Yet, despite these glaringly obvious risks, equity market valuations have only been higher than current levels 20% of the time since 1926. At 22.2 times trailing ten-year earnings, today’s Cyclically Adjusted PE is very high in historic terms. So while a case can be made for fresh near-term highs in equity markets, investors should be aware that such a tactical call amounts to a speculative bet on yet higher prices, rather than a long-term fundamental investment derived on the basis of cash flow. Expected stock returns are just too low today to justify a rigid adherence to a static portfolio mix, dominated by equities.
We have, however, begun analyzing global equity markets more closely over the past quarter, as most of the world has dramatically underperformed domestic equity markets, pushing relative valuations toward extremes. There is no question that the outlook for the global economy remains extremely challenging, as shortened business cycles are more susceptible to periodic bouts of recession. At the same time, European economies can only hope for such “periodic” bouts of recession, given that consensus expectations today are moving closer to the Japanification of the EU. That being said, it is important to remember that the actual risk of permanent impairment is usually lowest when perceived risk is highest and as such, it is likely that the market has already discounted the impact of a prolonged European recession. The news only needs to be slightly less bad for stocks to rise from today’s extremely depressed valuations and it would seem that ECB President Mario Monti’s recent actions have provided markets with such a catalyst.
International equities may not have hit bottom yet, but valuations suggest we are getting close. Among the world’s major stock markets, Europe is the cheapest based on current dividend yields. It is also cheapest on cash flow yield, book value yield and earnings yield. Unfortunately, we’ve learned that a cheap asset can easily get cheaper. But we’ve also learned that unlike buying an overpriced stock which offers roughly zero chance of ever returning to previous valuation heights, investing in a heavily discounted asset can beget temporary losses, but ultimately results in much higher long-term compounded returns. Buying early is the notorious curse of the value investor. However, buying stocks when they trade at low multiples has historically been a rewarding strategy. Ned Davis Research reports that when the Cyclically Adjusted PE on European equity indices has been below 13.5, European stocks delivered annualized returns of 16.2% over the following five years. These markets currently trade at a Cyclically Adjusted PE of 12.2 – a multi-decade low.
In closing, we would note that time arbitrage is the most obvious structural opportunity to add value in the current market environment. This means committing capital to undervalued and overlooked assets with significant upside potential on a three to five year horizon, while most investors continue to struggle looking past the next quarter. We’ve found that an emphasis on current cash flow can minimize market volatility while we are “paid to wait” for price to align with value. Today, the result is a portfolio heavily invested in various fixed income assets and mortgage securities, while maintaining a healthy allocation to natural resources, comprised of precious metals and infrastructure assets yielding 6.0% with growing distributions. And finally,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE |
Year Ended October 31, 2012 |
while opportunities are increasingly limited in domestic equity markets, we believe investments in global equities, with above-average dividend yield, should provide an attractive balance of current cash flow and a cheap option on future price appreciation. We work hard every day with the goal of finding these hidden jewels, while waiting patiently to redeploy capital when prices ultimately undershoot fair value, as they always do.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Company paid the following dividends per share:
December 10, 2011 to shareholders of record November 25, 2011 | | $ | .31 | |
March 10, 2012 to shareholders of record February 25, 2012 | | | .25 | |
June 10, 2012 to shareholders of record May 25, 2012 | | | .25 | |
September 10, 2012 to shareholders of record August 25, 2012 | | | .25 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 1.06 | |
The Company paid a dividend of $0.32 per share on December 10, 2012 to shareholders of record November 25, 2012.
The attached Schedule of Investments is a listing of the entire Company’s diversified securities at October 31, 2012 with a total market value of $111,608,361.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of BMC Fund, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the BMC Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2012 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As explained in note 2, the financial statements include investments valued at $18,308,442 (16.44 percent of net assets), whose fair values have been estimated by management in the absence of readily determinable fair values. Management’s estimates are based upon information provided by the funds’ managers or the general partners.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BMC Fund, Inc. as of October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Year Ended October 31, 2012 |
BMC Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is a closed-end, diversified investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Prior to becoming a regulated investment company on April 1, 1981, BMC Fund, Inc. operated as a regular corporation. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
A. Investment Valuations – The investment securities are stated at fair value as determined by closing prices on national securities exchanges. Investment securities include corporate bonds, mutual funds, and common and preferred stocks.
The investments in limited partnerships, other investments and venture capital are stated at estimated fair value as determined by the management of these investments and are approved by the Company’s Valuation Committee after giving consideration to historical and projected financial results, economic conditions, financial condition of investee and other factors and events subject to change, and ratified by the Company’s Board of Directors. Because of the inherent uncertainty of those valuations, the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market value for the investments existed, and these differences could be material.
B. Investment Transactions – Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the order to buy or sell is executed. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the basis of specific identification of issues sold or matured. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Company purchased and sold securities in the amount of $38,487,684 and $36,231,815 (excluding short-term investments and options), respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Year Ended October 31, 2012 |
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
C. Option Writing – When the Company writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Company is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Company on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Company has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Company. The Company as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
D. Income Taxes – No federal tax provision is required as it is the Company’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, including the distribution to its shareholders of substantially all of its income and any capital gains not offset by capital losses. Also, no state income tax provision has been provided because the states in which the Company has income recognize the tax exempt status of a regulated investment company.
The Company did not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures, and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law. Tax returns for all years 2008 and thereafter are subject to possible future examinations by tax authorities.
E. Dividend Policy – It is the Company’s policy to pay dividends during the year in sufficient amounts to meet the requirements to maintain its status as a regulated investment company.
F. Cash and Short-Term Investments – For purposes of financial reporting, the Company considers all investments at financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less to be equivalent to cash. Short-term money market investments managed by third party investors are included in investment securities.
G. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
H. Fair Value Measurements – The Company applies a three-tier hierarchy to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Company’s investments as of the reporting period end. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Company’s investments as of October 31, 2012.

Material Conflicts of Interest
The Fund recognizes that actual or potential conflicts of interest are inherent in our business. These actual or potential conflicts may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or account. Certain investments may be appropriate for the Fund and also for other clients advised by the portfolio manager. Investment decisions for the Fund and other clients are made with a view to achieving their respective investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as their current holdings, availability of cash for investment and the size of their investments generally. Therein lies the possibility that a particular security could be bought or sold for the Fund and also for other clients, along with the possibility that a particular security could be bought or sold for the Fund while the opposite transaction could be occurring for other clients due to their investment strategy.
To the extent that a portfolio manager has responsibilities for managing accounts in addition to the Fund, the portfolio manager will need to divide his time and attention among relevant accounts.
The Fund also recognizes that in some cases, an actual or potential conflict may arise where a portfolio manager may have an incentive, such as a performance-based fee.
The Fund is in the process of developing written policies and procedures designed to address conflicts of interest its portfolio managers may face.
(a)(3)
Compensation Structure of Portfolio Managers
The compensation structure for each portfolio manager is based upon a fixed salary as well as a discretionary bonus determined by the senior management of the Registrant. Salaries are determined by the senior management and are based upon an individual’s position and overall value to the Registrant. Bonuses are also determined by management and are based upon an individual’s overall contribution to the success of the Fund and the profitability of the Registrant. Salaries and bonuses for portfolio managers are not based upon criteria such as performance of the Fund or the value of assets of the Registrant. Portfolio managers also have the opportunity to participate in other employee benefits available to all of the employees of the Registrant.
