Oceanic Capital

Investment Advisor

OCM is a registered investment advisor. OCM’s Investment Manager Thomas Yorke has been an institutional investment professional for 25 years. Throughout that history his investment practices have lead him to focus on employing alternative asset classes in the effort to generate superior returns based on actively managed risk.

OCM was founded with the goal of creating generational wealth through the use of longer-term strategies, diversification of assets and a controlled-risk profile. Our goal is to invest along the efficient frontier, where superior returns are met by controlled risk.

Our principal maintains several securities registrations including the Registered Representative, Securities Principal, Equity Trader, Options Principal, and Registered Investment Advisor.

Investment process

OCM’s investment process begins with top-down analysis aimed at establishing prudent asset allocations. From there, we employ economic and fundamental analysis to select specific positions within the desired allocations. Certain portfolios employ technical analysis to guide the timing of entry and exit decisions. All of our portfolios are characterized by a wide selection of traditional and nontraditional assets selected from across the world’s key markets. Decisions at both the allocation and individual investment level are guided by strict attention to historic investment performance correlations. We favor asset liquidity and are driven by a contrarian bias.
