Overview of the market –
past, present and future

Ship’s shares are globally active capital investments; they are directly related to the crystallising developments in the various economic zones. For this reason, we regularly describe in detail developments in the various market economies as well as medium-term market forecasts and the effects on the shipping and charter market.

Beside the fund-related information throughout the lifetime of the corresponding investment company, our investors also receive the current economic and tax status by means of the annual financial statements, the half-yearly reports of the management board and various circular letters.
