Minimum Return Level
New investments should be projected to generate a strong risk-adjusted return, calculated on a total basis including disposal, over a period of two to four years.
Risk-Diversified Portfolio
The company’s investment portfolio should have a balanced exposure to various geographical regions, different shipping segments, and operate under various types of charter contracts.
Financial Strategy for Investments
The leverage in the vessel-owning companies should generally not exceed 50 percent. Loans should be amortized so that the estimated residual value of the ships exceeds the loan at the calculation’s end date.
Currency Strategy
The company manages currency risk by having both revenues and costs in matching currencies (USD and EUR). Cash flows from the vessels to Ramlösa Shipping are generally not hedged.
