Minimum Return Level
New investments should be projected to yield at least a 20 percent annual return, calculated in total including sales, 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 ensuring both revenue and expenses are in matching currencies (USD and EUR). Currency flows from the vessels to Ramlösa Shipping are not hedged.
