Investment Philosophy

Cougar Global Investments believes the goal of investing is to achieve compound annualized returns that meet the client’s investment objectives. To achieve this objective, Cougar Global’s investment philosophy is to participate in bull markets and avoid bear markets.

Cougar Global shares with the vast majority of retail investors (and very few academics) an ”asymmetric approach toward risk”. Cougar Global attempts to avoid downside risk, but is quite willing to accept the “risk” of upside opportunities.
