SHIPPING FUND
Rationale for Investing
  • As the other sectors shipping was also hit hard by the crisis in second half of 2008
  • In December’08, Baltic Dry Index (BDI) touched an all time low of 663 levels
  • Since then the BDI has steadily moved up with improvement in the world trade
  • The vessel price moves in tandem with BDI
  • Though the BDI has moved a bit, there has been little movement on the vessel prices front
  • This gives an opportunity for catching the up-side on asset price
  • There has been growth in the dry bulk import market specially in Asian countries led by China & India in the last one year
  • This throws tremendous opportunity of increasing seaborne trade in the Asian geographies
  • This has had an impact on the charter
