Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Blue Ocean Capital is an independent, SEC-registered investment adviser organized as an LLC and owned by an individual. The firm serves both individual & family clients and institutional investors and positions itself as a capital allocator that hires external managers alongside directly managed portfolios. Advisory services emphasize financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, and selection of third-party advisers. The firm also lists accounting among its business activities. Blue Ocean charges a mix of fee types—percentage of assets under management, hourly fees and fixed fees—rather than relying on a single pricing model. It does not identify as an active ESG investor. The adviser has been SEC-registered since 2000.
