Oceanic Hedge Fund

Oceanic Investment Management Limited

Strategy Description

The Oceanic Hedge Fund is a long/short Energy Transition and Shipping fund established in 2002. The fund manager has a fundamental investment philosophy - based on long term technology trends and cyclical valuation analysis. The company possesses proprietary long-term cycle research and real time data from its pioneering vessel tracking system TRACS. The fund employs four strategies as follows: 

1. The New Energy strategy, introduced in 2008, picks up the structural themes and looks for companies with the best technological and market positions on a global basis. 

2. The oil and gas strategy is based on long-term and short-term modelling of the underlying physical asset market. The approach has been particularly effective at picking up oversupply or undersupply in asset-heavy parts of the sector, and to participate in restructuring opportunities that arise. 

3. The shipping strategy is based on modelling of freight and shipping equities. It uses a valuation framework based on cyclical mean reversion overlaid with structural changes such as carbon emission reduction requirements. This approach gives a long or short bias for each segment and a spread of long and short positions within the segment. 

4. The systematic shipping strategy is based on the proprietary satellite vessel tracking system TRACS – which has been providing real time updates on ship movements and cargo flows since 2011. The system uses predictive analytics in a demand/supply framework to identify short-term imbalances in 15 segment models.
