The Lloyd’s List Podcast: The view from New York

THIS week’s edition of the Lloyd’s List podcast comes to you via New York where markets editor Michelle Wiese Bockmann has been speaking with with three key maritime and shipping leaders in their field that each provide a unique financial and investment perspective on our industry. Svein Engh is senior managing director and portfolio manager of Entrust Global. The lending business has raised nearly three billion dollars since founding in 2016, the vast majority of that during the pandemic. John Kartsonas is founder and managing partner of Breakwater Advisors. He started the exchange-traded fund BDRY, based on dry bulk freight futures, opening up shipping to retail and institutional investors. The ETF trades between five and ten million dollars, volumes that rival many of the mostly illiquid small-cap shipping stocks on the New York Stock exchange. Michael Webber, managing partner of Webber Advisory, is a long-time researcher of public shipping markets, well known for his work looking ESG, or Environmental, Social and Governance, in this space.
