Our number one priority is to keep your clients out of trouble.
Defined Process. Differentiated Outcomes.
Since 1987, our founders' rules-based, buy-and-sell disciplines have sought to help investors limit downside risk, grow their wealth, and achieve their investment goals. Our process aims to participate in global uptrends, focus on depth and diversity in the security selection, and sell according to our Trailing Stop Discipline. When a decline in the markets meets our already-determined sell signals, we seek to move swiftly to reallocate our portfolios and sell quickly, without emotion, speculation, or market pontification. Importantly, in the absence of uptrends, our solutions have the flexibility to quickly and temporarily move to cash allocations — up to 100%.
We believe our defined investment process, outlined below, sets us apart.
Our Disciplined, Rules-Based Investment Process
When We Buy: Trend Following
What We Buy: Security Selection
When We Sell: Trailing Stop Discipline
Trailing 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 Asset Management, Inc (“Ocean Park”) utilizes this Discipline directly in the management of non-affiliated holdings. Ocean Park invests in its affiliated Sierra Mutual Funds and Ocean Park ETFs (“Funds”) and the Discipline is applied at the underlying funds level of each Fund, not on the Funds themselves. Certain strategies that contain exclusively affiliated holdings will only apply at the underlying holding level of the affiliated funds. 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.
Cash Exposure. In the absence of buy signals, and/or temporarily following a sell signal, portfolios can have exposure to 100% cash equivalent asset classes. Because our affiliated Funds utilize the same discipline, the Underlying Holdings of any Fund can also have cash exposure. Cash exposure in Ocean Park portfolios therefore considers both the direct cash exposure as well as the cash exposure within the affiliated Funds.
