Oceanus Research LLC

Oceanus Research provides customized investment management and consultation primarily to high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, small businesses, and retirement plans, with a focus on experienced, accredited and qualified investors. The firm advises on publicly traded equities, mutual funds, ETFs, treasuries and equity options, and offers individualized portfolio management and occasional consulting services.

The firm applies a defined investment process that begins with an investment policy statement and combines top‑down thematic work with fundamental and proprietary research, managing portfolios on both discretionary and quantitative/systematic bases. Portfolios are typically diversified across many holdings and the firm may employ derivatives, short positions, currency hedges and borrowing or margin in separately managed accounts as part of its risk‑management and return‑seeking tactics.

Several aspects of Oceanus Research are uncommon among similarly sized independent advisers: it accepts performance‑based compensation and discloses and advertises performance results, and it maintains an affiliation with another investment adviser through senior investment personnel. Its emphasis on sophisticated strategies (derivatives and borrowing in accounts) and on accredited/qualified investors rather than mass‑market individual clients further differentiates its practice from most peers.
