Our History

Cougar Global has developed a proprietary investment process that constructs globally diversified portfolios of ETFs designed to perform in accordance with clients’ investment objectives. The firm’s investment process employs downside risk management methodology and tactical asset allocation to preserve clients' assets in down markets.

We understand the importance of preserving invested capital while providing clients with the income they require. To meet the primary goal of preserving precious assets, and to provide a reliable stream of income, Cougar Global recognizes that diversifying assets globally and actively managing the asset mix in response to changing market conditions is one of the primary tools for preserving the original capital invested while meeting each client’s income needs.

In 2016, Cougar Global Investments became an affiliate of Raymond James Investment Management, a global asset management company. Raymond James Investment Management combines the exceptional insight and agility of individual investment teams with the strength and stability of a full-service firm.

Cougar Global Investments is registered and regulated by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) as a Portfolio Manager and registered as a "non-resident" investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
