Ocean Wilsons Holdings (OCN) is an investment holding company that offers investors an unusual proposition: a controlling interest in a long-established Brazilian maritime services company (Wilson Sons) and a diversified investment portfolio, both run with a long-term view. While the trading background in Brazil is challenging, this is factored into market thinking and Wilson Sons has demonstrated resilience. An investor in OCN also gains the diversification provided by the global portfolio and a substantial discount cushion (35% based on a look-through NAV).
