Built for disciplined investing.
Oceancrest Capital turns risk discipline into consistent, repeatable returns. Our rules-based, multi-strategy approach removes human bias from every decision.
Experience. Discipline. Process.
The Oceancrest team brings experience across portfolio construction, risk management, institutional asset management, and quantitative research, with a shared focus on systematic decision-making and disciplined risk control.

Neville has over 20 years of experience across investment banking and asset management, advising ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional clients in the offshore market.

Prior to founding Oceancrest, Neville was a founding partner of Rockwater Capital, and prior to that served as Director of Investments at one of the Cayman Islands’ largest independent asset managers, working across equities, fixed income, private debt, hedge funds, and alternative investments. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Dalhousie University and is a CFA Charterholder.
