March 24, 2015, DURANGO, CO. — Swan Global Investments, an independent advisory firm based in Durango Colorado, announced it has received a $23 million growth equity investment from FTV Capital. The capital will be used by Swan to expand its product line by increasing its research and development, along with its operations, including customer support and distribution of its products. As part of this investment, Richard Garman, managing partner of FTV Capital, will be joining the company’s board. In 1997, Swan developed the Defined Risk Strategy (DRS), which is an actively managed, hedged equity, rules-based process. According to Randy Swan, CEO, “Our Defined Risk Strategy is designed to hedge against large stock market declines. With extreme market volatility and so many nervous investors these days, we think DRS is a timely investment strategy to consider.”

“Swan has grown rapidly over the last several years and continues to execute on a business plan that increases product offerings and expands its sales and marketing efforts,” said Richard Garman, FTV Capital managing partner. “Our firm’s roots lie in the financial services sector, working alongside and investing in asset management companies for nearly two decades as they scale their businesses to the next level. FTV Capital is excited to work with Randy and his team as the company takes its growth to the next stage.” Swan noted that, “Our Defined Risk Strategy strives to minimize losses in bear markets and seeks to outperform the S&P 500 over the long term on a risk-adjusted and absolute basis.”

About Swan Global Investments
