Since its inception König & Cie.'s backbone has been investment in shipping assets. König & Cie. possess the unique combination of extensive commercial and technical shipping experience, and significant experience in fin- ancial structuring and private equity. Key members of the management team have combined shipping industry experience of more than 220 years. The team is led by professionals, who have demonstrated their ability to consistently deliver strong investment performance across multiple asset categories and throughout market cycles. Over the past decade with König & Cie., the principals have built strong, lasting global relationships with sale and purchase brokers, leading shipyards, first class charterers, pool managers, world class ship owners and ship- ping banks. These relationships provide access to an extensive network of executive-level contacts and generate privileged deal flow. |
As more that 95% of all products and raw materials are shipped at least once by seaborne transportation, König & Cie. believes that the long term fundamentals of the shipping industry remain strong, presenting an attractive opportunity for investors, seeking to capitalize on every stage of the economic cycle. As the global vessel supply will be rationalized due to a substantial decrease in newbuild activity as result of the financial crisis, an aging fleet and the fact that continued urbanization and infrastructure construction in the dev- eloping world will drive growth in raw material demand and world trade. This condition underlines a favourable future supply/demand balance and should support increasing charter rates and asset values over the longer term and an opportunity to capitalize on the industry's recovery. |
