Oceanic Investment Management: Excellence in Sustainable Maritime and Energy Sector Investments 2024

Oceanic Investment Management has distinguished itself as a leader in the maritime and energy sectors, with a particular focus on investments aligned with the global energy transition. The company’s investment process integrates fundamental industry analysis and valuation with a data-driven systematic strategy, employing the proprietary TRACS software. This advanced system, underpinned by satellite tracking, enables the Oceanic team to assess fleet performance and efficiency, with precision. While the firm does not categorise itself as an ESG fund, sustainability is included as a key consideration alongside the broader investment factors which include supply and demand dynamics, cyclical analysis and asset quality.

Oceanic Investment Management’s flagship Oceanic Hedge Fund has demonstrated consistently strong performance, with a track record of double-digit returns. Over the past five years, the total return of 110% (including the impact of compounding) represents an average return of 16% pa (including a 14% return in 2024), maintaining resilience despite global disruptions, including geopolitical tensions, environmental challenges, and market volatility.

The performance represents the firm’s ability to capitalise on opportunities while navigating complexities in the shipping and energy sectors. The success has attracted a geographically diverse investor base, with notable participation from Switzerland, the UK and the US. By combining technological innovation with expertise, Oceanic Investment Management has positioned itself at the forefront of sustainable maritime and energy investments. The Cfi.co Judging Panel congratulates Oceanic Investment Management on winning the 2024 award for Excellence in Sustainable Maritime and Energy Sector Investments (Global).
