Darcy co-founded Ewing Morris & Co. Investment Partners in June 2011 with John Ewing.

Darcy currently serves on the board of ZCL Composites Inc. (TSX: ZCL), The Caldwell Partners International Inc. (TSX: CWL), the Toronto Public Library Foundation and the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) Foundation. Prior to co-founding Ewing Morris & Co.

Alex ended up pursuing a career in investment management through the process of elimination. Soon after arriving in Canada at thirteen, he tried his hand at salesmanship – selling subscriptions to The Gazette newspaper in Montreal (he remembers making at least one sale, but his memory on this is fuzzy) – followed by a summer job at a custom furniture manufacturer (it’s unlikely that any evidence of his craftsmanship survives to this day).  Convinced by these early experiences that he was unlikely to make valuable contributions to the fields of sales or furniture manufacturing, he pursued different opportunities, until he finally stumbled on the field of investment management – where he not only derives immense intrinsic satisfaction from the work itself, but also feels like he can add value. Alex joined Ewing Morris & Co. Investment Partners in May 2014. Alex is responsible for portfolio management and investment research, and also contributes to investor relationships and general operations. Prior to his current role, Alex worked as an Investment Analyst at Burgundy Asset Management where he was part of the U.S. Large Cap team. Alex graduated with distinction from Concordia University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounting and a Minor in Finance. He also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology and Immunology from McGill University. At Concordia, Alex was part of Kenneth Woods Portfolio Management and John Molson Case Competition programs. As part of John Molson Case Competition Program, he won multiple awards in national and international business case competitions. When taking a break from chasing basis points in the market, Alex enjoys spending time with his wife, usually chasing their young daughter around the house.

Randy joined Ewing Morris in 2015 as Portfolio Manager of the Ewing Morris Flexible Fixed Income Fund LP.  Prior to his current role, Randy was a Portfolio Manager, at Norrep Capital Management, a boutique Canadian mutual fund company. At Norrep, Randy managed the firm’s $300mm in fixed income assets, which consisted of investments in the high yield corporate bond and senior loan market.

Randy received a Bachelor’s of Commerce degree in Finance from the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia in 2007 and became a CFA Charterholder in 2011. Randy is also Leslie Wong Fellow, having participated in UBC’s Portfolio Management Foundation during his time at Sauder. If it’s one thing Randy enjoys most, it is producing quality returns from unexpected places such as from under-followed bonds of poorly run, mediocre businesses.  Outside of chasing down basis points in the market, Randy can be found pitching his two boys to join him in mountain-based sports and playing music. 60% of the time, it works every time.
