Oceanwood Capital Management LLP (“OCM LLP” or “the Firm”) is a company registered in England and Wales with company number OC318491. OCM LLP is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) with Firm Reference Number 450391.
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (‘UK GDPR’) is the retained EU law version of the General Data Protection Regulation (‘EU GDPR’ – EU 2016/679). UK GDPR was effectively incorporated into domestic law on the 31 December 2020 by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 and the Data Protection Act 2018 (‘DPA’).
Whilst a UK firm is subject to UK GDPR, a UK firm could also be subject to EU GDPR if it handles the data of EU persons (which include EU clients and investors), as per EU GDPR Article 3(2). Hence forth, unless otherwise stated all references GDPR in this Privacy Policy are to both UK and EU GDPR (collectively, “GDPR”).
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), OCM LLP will be the ‘controller’ of the personal data you provide. Please read the following information carefully in order to understand the Firm’s practices in relation to the treatment of your personal data. Should you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
What data privacy principles does the Firm adhere to?
What personal data does the Firm collect and why?
In the course of providing products/services to you, the Firm may collect information that is considered personal information (e.g. name, contact details, address, passport number, driving licence).
As a client, contact, service provider, partner or employee of OCM, we will require some personal information in order to verify your identity and have the applicable relationship with you. Some of this information may be required to satisfy legal obligations (e.g. to comply with obligations arising under the money laundering regulations whereas other information may be required in connection with the provision of services to you). The information collected will vary depending on the service the Firm provides to you or you provide to the Firm, but typically includes:
Where does the Firm store my personal data?
The Firm has comprehensive policies and procedures in place to ensure your personal data is kept safe and secure, with these including:
How long does the Firm retain personal data?
As a regulated entity, the Firm is required to maintain its books and records for a prescribed period (five years from either the ceasing of a business relationship, or, in the case of non-clients, from the making of a record – or alternatively, for seven years, where specifically requested to do so by the Financial Conduct Authority). As such, information that falls in scope of either of these requirements is retained in line with the mandated timeframe.
Any information that is outside the scope of this requirement will be retained whilst relevant and useful, and destroyed where this ceases to be the case or where the data subject specifically requests this.
How have I been categorised in accordance with GDPR?
The GDPR requires the Firm to inform you of the legal basis on which we maintain your personal data. Typically, the Firm will reach out to you personally to confirm this; however, as a general rule the following is applicable:
What are my rights?
Once you have provided your details to the Firm, you have certain rights which apply, depending on your relationship with the Firm, the information you have shared with us and the Firm’s legal and regulatory obligations.
Will I be notified of changes to this policy?
The Firm may, from time to time, review and update this policy. Compliance maintains the latest version of this policy and where the changes are deemed material, it will make you are aware of these.
Who should I direct questions to?
If you have any questions, concerns or complaints about the practices contained within this document or how the Firm has handled your data, please email: [email protected]. Alternatively, you may write to: Office 3.45, 53 Davies Street, London, W1K 5JH.
Under Rule 2.2.3R of the FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Oceanwood Capital Management LLP ( “Oceanwood”) is required to disclose the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code (the "Code") or, where it does not commit to the Code, its alternative investment strategy. The Code is a voluntary code and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors with UK equity issuers. Investors that commit to the Code can either comply with it in full or choose not to comply with aspects of the Code, in which case they are required to explain their non-compliance.
Oceanwood employs a European-focused event-driven investment strategy which involves, among others, investments in equities, including UK equities. The Code is therefore relevant to only certain aspects of Oceanwood's investment process. While Oceanwood generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, Oceanwood has chosen not to commit to the Code. Oceanwood invests in a variety of asset classes and in a variety of jurisdictions and its approach in relation to the engagement with issuers and their management will vary on a case by case basis. Therefore, Oceanwood does not consider it appropriate to commit to any particular voluntary code of practice relating to any individual jurisdiction or asset class.
Oceanwood Capital Management LLP does not currently consider the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors in accordance with Article 4 of the SFDR, as the detailed rules and guidance regarding such disclosure have not been finalised.
