How it works
Three steps, plainly explained
Charter income
Vessels are chartered to shipping companies; income comes from charter rates.
Exit
At the end of the term the vessel or the participation is sold or refinanced.
What you actually own
A participation in a vessel-owning structure.
Provided by a specialised partner, with whom the contract is concluded directly. AvantGarde introduces you and accompanies you; it does not hold client funds.
Why no return figures here
Partner projections are estimates, not promises. You receive them with all costs and risks, in writing, after the partner has assessed your situation — never as a headline.
Risks you should know
Read this before the opportunity
Charter rates are cyclical and can fall sharply.
Vessel values move with the shipping cycle.
Operational risks: accidents, off-hire periods, regulation.
US dollar exposure.
It may fit if…
- ✓You want an uncorrelated real asset with a defined term
It is not for you if…
- ✕You cannot accept cyclical income
- ✕You need early access to the capital
