Q. Who is Ocean Park Asset Management?
In 1987, we developed what we believe to be a differentiated approach to portfolio risk management in Santa Monica, California. Today, Ocean Park Asset Management, with nearly $5 billion AUM, has a national presence. Our aim is to grow client wealth with the objectives of 1. participating opportunistically in global investment uptrends and 2. using a tactical discipline to help limit downside.
Q. What is your perspective on tactical investing?
We believe people and portfolios may benefit from the daily, tactical management of assets and that a flexible, responsive approach to changing market conditions may be better than buy-and-hold. Our tactical, rules-based process incorporates trend following, security selection, and a Trailing Stop Discipline, which seeks to limit the impact of a further decline in value of a security on the overall portfolio.
Q. What investment solutions does Ocean Park offer?
We offer models, including ETF models, active ETFs, and mutual funds. Ranging from fixed income-focused to equity-focused, our solutions address a range of investor goals and risk profiles. Our tactical, rules-based investment process spans all solutions, and we focus on depth and breadth in asset class selection. In addition, we offer solutions, knowledge, and tools to help advisors and clients navigate complex financial landscapes.
Q. How did a duck become part of your branding?
We have used this analogy for decades: when an object is aimed at your head, instinctively you “duck.” This reflex is the guiding principle behind our investment process. In times of turbulence and in absence of uptrends across our target investment opportunity set, our portfolios can tilt to 100% cash asset class exposure. From there, we can invest those funds in money market funds and overnight sweep vehicles where available. The duck as a symbol of our ability to “duck” during downturns has become a powerful way to communicate our investment philosophy.
