    Investment approach

    It is our belief that an essential part of achieving favourable risk adjusted returns while investing in shipping is by staying capitalized through the cycles. By co-investing with operational shipowners specialized in each respective segment, being selective in asset selection and adding a sensible financing structure, we mitigate operational risk and manage market risk.

    Partner selection
    Our strategy is to co-Invest with shipowners that can demonstrate an excellent commercial- and operational track record over time and that contributes with significant equity alongside our funds.

    Asset selection
    We focus on traditional vessels with standard design, typically mid-life and within the most liquid segments. By avoiding niche tonnage, we reduce the risk of our vessels becoming obsolete with respect to charterers' preference. Segment liquidity and accompanying transparency facilitate the opportunity to divest opportunistically based on market developments.

    Deal structuring
    In order to cope with the cyclicality of the industry, we believe it is essential with a sensible financial structure and robust break even levels that can endure different market climates. Incentive alignment across all stakeholders is also a critical part of the deal structuring to ensure that all parties work to optimize returns.

    Diversification
    As predicting short-term market developments is almost impossible, we are big believers in diversification. We have a long-term investment horizon and strive to be capitalized in the various segments when these experience upcycles. Our portfolio approach provides diversification within the segments with regards to sub-segments as well as employment and thus facilitates a broad exposure to the shipping markets.
