The panel will discuss the changing landscape of investors and their attitude to shipping today. Will focus on institutional interest – are investors looking for value, growth, yield, momentum? Also, on the increasing role of individual investors. Active investors in shipping today represent a small fragment of the overall investor base – the panel will discuss what investors are looking for, what they expect from the companies they invest in in terms of business approach, governance, investor relations, transparency, market liquidity and more.MODERATOR:Mr. Nicolas Bornozis, President - Capital LinkPANELISTS:
