Ocean Park Asset Management 

Outcomes Delivered by Discipline 

We Believe in Disciplined Risk Management  

In 1987, Ocean Park Asset Management’s founders developed what we believe to be a differentiated approach to portfolio risk management. Today, the firm continues its aim of growing client wealth with the objectives of:

  • participating opportunistically in global investment uptrends and
  • using a tactical discipline to help limit downside risk. 

Our Investment Process

We deploy our tactical, rules-based process across asset classes and spectrums of risk. The outcomes we achieve are the result of this objective process, which we believe sets us apart.

When to Buy

Trend Following

  • We evaluate buying opportunities when our quantitative decision rules identify an uptrend in the price of a security.
  • An uptrend is determined by a security’s price rising above both the recent low of its upper band and a secondary moving average.
  • A security’s bands are related to its historic volatility and are offset above and below a short-term exponential moving average.

What to Buy

 Security Selection

  • We seek to buy securities exhibiting strong risk-adjusted returns during a recent uptrend.
  • Additional metrics, such as strength of the recent uptrend, historical volatility, and correlation to existing holdings, are considered in portfolio construction.
  • If there are multiple securities with buy signals in the same asset class, preference is towards buying securities with better, recent risk-adjusted performance.
  • For multi-asset-class portfolios, if there are a number of securities with buy signals across different asset classes, risk and diversification are also considered, with the goal of preventing one asset class from having an outsized impact on the portfolio.

When to Sell

Trailing Stop Discipline¹

  • We will sell a security when our quantitative decision rules identify a downtrend in the price of a security.
  • A downtrend is determined by a security’s price falling below the recent high of its lower band – an event which triggers a sell signal.
  • Our Trailing Stop Discipline1 seeks to limit the impact of a further decline in value of a security on the overall portfolio.
  • Our Trailing Stop Discipline1 is applied across positions in each of our managed portfolios and monitored daily.
  • When a position is sold, we may keep the proceeds in cash or buy another security.

¹Trailing Stop Discipline (“Discipline”): This proprietary Discipline has the objective of limiting the magnitude for portfolio drawdowns. The Discipline is based on a manual process that defines sell levels/signals for security holdings in decline, as measured by its price falling below the recent high of its lower band. These are not market orders. Ocean Park utilizes this Discipline directly in the management of non-affiliated holdings. Where Ocean Park invests in its affiliated Ocean Park Mutual Funds or Ocean Park ETFs (“Affiliated Funds”), the same Discipline is applied at the underlying funds level, not on the Affiliated Funds themselves. Please see our Form ADV Part 2A for information on conflicts of interest that exist as a result of Ocean Park investing in Affiliated Funds.
