Asset Management Products

Ocean Tomo Asset Management (OTAM) has developed a family of investment products based on its proprietary Intellectual Property valuation methodologies. While IP alpha is common to all strategies, OTAM’s strategies represent a spectrum of risk-adjusted returns, liquidities, correlations, and holding periods. All quantitative products employ the Ocean Tomo Ratings™ system, which has valued every patent issued in the U.S. since 1977, whereas qualitative products utilize the 23 years of IP domain knowledge present in Ocean Tomo’s team of investment, valuation, analytics and consulting experts.

Ocean Tomo Indexes

The transformation of the global economy to a knowledge economy has placed an unprecedented focus on companies’ intangible assets, including intellectual property assets: patents, trademarks and copyrights. The economic inversion in the relative importance of tangible assets to intangible assets experienced over the last three decades carries significant implications for the investment community.

Ocean Tomo's suite of patent-based indexes and investable securities provide investors, asset managers and financial advisors with compelling investment options and viable benchmarks. The indexes and securities are IP-centric: inclusion in an Ocean Tomo Index reflects corporate intellectual property value relative to traditional financial value. By constructing indexes and securities around the fundamental indicators of performance in the knowledge economy, Ocean Tomo Indexes and their related securities give the investment community access to, and benchmarks for, the leading asset of the knowledge economy: intellectual capital.
