About Cary

Bio

A leader and innovator in the Canadian equity arena, Cary Pinkowski has built his career on identifying major investment trends early. From the internet to gold to energy metals, he has consistently positioned himself — and his clients — ahead of the curve. He has been a passionate and fervent advocate for a long-term bullish stance on US equity markets. Cary is a TED attendee from 2016–2019 and 2022–2024, drawn back year after year by the innovators and entrepreneurs who challenge conventional thinking and push the boundaries of what is possible. He believes deeply in the power of ideas to reshape industries and improve lives. His conviction in capitalism is both personal and profound. Cary's father and grandmother escaped communist East Germany in 1960, and other family members spent their lifetimes trapped behind the Berlin Wall. Those inherited lessons — of sacrifice, resilience, and the stark contrast between freedom and oppression — form the foundation of who he is. Travelling to East Germany himself in 1983 and again in 1987, and witnessing life behind the Iron Curtain firsthand, changed him forever. Those experiences cemented his belief that living in the West is not a right, but a gift to be cherished and never taken for granted.
