Walter Schroeder

Chairman Colonial House Capital Ltd
Walter Schroeder’s parents were immigrants from the Ukraine, where they lived in a German enclave while keeping their culture and heritage alive for more than a hundred years. During the Russian Revolution, both sides of his family escaped persecution by immigrating to Canada. They had survived the Communist revolution but lost all their wealth. When Walter was born in December 1941 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, his father was working as a caretaker of a private college and his mother cleaned houses for the rich people of Winnipeg.
“Those difficult times definitely had an effect on my father,” says Walter. ‘He was frugal and sought stability above risk. But he was smart and a very skilled tradesman. He could do anything from plumbing to carpentry. He was proud of our house, and he kept it in good condition. We were poor, but we did not know we were poor because we had plenty of relatives around us.’
Both of Walter’s parents came from large families. Their native language was German, and Walter grew up with dozens of cousins, who all spoke German. ‘I didn’t learn English until I was in the first grade,’ he says. ‘But education was very important in my family. I knew that would be my way out of poverty. I can remember hearing once that when a son walks in his father’s footsteps, that means he is like his father. I loved my father, but I wanted much more than what he could give us. One day, I was walking behind him in the snow, and I purposefully made my footsteps fall away from his because I was determined my life would be different and did not want to follow in his footsteps.’
Walter’s maternal relatives were largely entrepreneurs in their day. They became businessmen when they grew up in Canada, becoming small-time entrepreneurs. By the time he was in the eighth grade, getting a university education was Walter’s number-1 goal. He became interested in the stock market and taught himself the principles of portfolio management. ‘I told myself,’ he says, ‘that I wanted to become the best equity analyst in North America.’
Walter obtained a bachelor of commerce degree with honors from the University of Manitoba, and then achieved his MBA from McMaster University. He worked evenings until he was licensed as a certified public accountant (CPA) as well as a chartered financial analyst (CFA).

Randy Swan
Founder, President and Lead Portfolio Manager
Swan Global Investments
Randy Swan is the founder, CEO and Lead Portfolio Manager of Swan Global Investments and the creator of the proprietary Defined Risk Strategy (DRS).
In 1997, recognizing the limitations of Modern Portfolio Theory and the difficulty of market timing and picking stocks, Randy developed the Swan Defined Risk Strategy to help investors redefine the risk/return dynamic of long-term investing, seeking to achieve capital appreciation while seeking protection from large losses.
As Lead Portfolio Manager of Swan and the DRS, Randy oversees and manages the strategy across numerous product portfolios and asset classes such as large cap stocks, emerging market stocks, foreign developed stocks, small cap stocks, long-term bonds, gold, and more. Across each product/portfolio, the DRS strategy seeks to define the risk, reduce volatility, limit large losses and match or exceed the long-term performance of the stock market over an entire investment cycle (peak to trough). This is all from the perspective of helping investors to achieve a more consistent and smoother longer-term investment experience.
Before founding Swan, Randy was a senior manager for KPMG’s Financial Services Group, primarily working with risk management and insurance providers as a tax consultant. His experience at KPMG helped him in designing the Defined Risk Strategy, as he was able to see firsthand how insurance and risk managers diminished risk.
