WHO WE ARE

Five Oceans Asset Management combines commerciality with a fresh approach to global investing.

We are a boutique, international equities, fund manager, based in Sydney.

Established in 2005, the company was founded by Christopher Selth and Ross Youngman, who sought to create an organisation that reflected their combined 40 plus years of experience working across international investment markets.

We share your interests
As a majority employee-owned organisation we have strived to align the interests of the Five Oceans team with those of our clients.

We are shareholders in our own business and have a vested interest in building a strong, sustainable organisation.

We are also personal investors in the investment funds managed by Five Oceans. Therefore we share our clients' investment objectives of creating wealth and experiencing superior investment returns over the long term.

Our team's approach
Five Oceans brings together a strong internationally experienced group of investment professionals to manage concentrated portfolios of international shares with a focus on bottom-up research using a flexible value approach.

We combine a rigorous investment process with the team's internationally diverse market experience to create portfolios that are not referenced to any international share index and where producing positive returns is the primary consideration.

The Five Oceans investment approach is based on the belief that investment opportunities are driven by change. As change can be generated from a variety of sources, Five Oceans seeks to tap into as wide a variety of knowledge and ideas as possible, from both inside and outside the investment community.

Sustainability
Five Oceans believes that an understanding and management of business sustainability considerations is a good barometer of corporate management and a way for companies to;

minimise reputational risk,
protect their franchise, and
sustain long term competitive positioning.

We also believe that factors affecting long term corporate sustainability covering environmental, social and corporate governance factors, should be incorporated into fundamental equity research.
