This week at Maritime Opportunity Investment Corp. we look at investment return KPI's for various asset classes and seek to understand the risk factors more robustly through the life-cycle of the investment. While we don't dismiss the validity of traditional equity and credit metrics, we feel they are not adequate for the almost unique nature of maritime. The vast variability in revenue, costs and capital structure in the segment make it difficult to direct capital under an arbitrage framework.
Our new Prudential Ratio looks to control for varying investment factors and business cycle effects. A work in progress that looks at constrained optimization framework to better classify levels of investments which are subject to significant macro to micro effects.
