Who We Are


Balanced Capital & Insurance (BC&I) Wealth Management was founded by James 'JB' Ball and Randall Schumacher in 1984 and is located in Burnsville, MN. BC&I uses SII Investments, Inc., an independent Broker/Dealer, and specializes in corporate retirement and 401(k) plans and individual wealth management with over $120 million assets under management. We are here to provide integrity, the best possible high quality service and ongoing support to all our clients.


James Ball is also the founder and president of Tee It Up For The Troops, Inc. a local and national golf event that raises money to support organizations that assist the fallen and disabled members and their families of US Armed Forces.


BC&I Wealth Management is pleased to announce the addition of Barry Minsker, CFP® to our firm. Barry has worked in the financial services industry for seven years and attained his CFP® certification in 2007. Barry currently manages over $15 million in assets and will transition his clients to BC&I. Our firm is looking to the future as our current clients enter retirement. "Fee based financial and income planning for retirees will certainly be a primary focus, and Barry Minsker will help us in that process," Schumacher said.
