Q. Which is correct (or are both correct): the Office of Capital Markets (OCM) or the Office of Capital Markets (“OCM”)? The second just doesn’t seem right to me, but my boss keeps correcting my work by changing it to that.

A. The quotation marks are unconventional, and they aren’t Chicago style (see CMOS 10.3), but if your boss really, really wants them, it probably won’t kill you to use them.

[This answer relies on the 17th edition of CMOS (2017) unless otherwise noted.]
