I am a real person investing my own money in hard assets — shipping, mining, energy and pipelines. Every analysis here is backed by positions I actually hold (CMB.Tech ~3.4%, TORM ~2.9%, Dorian LPG ~2.9%, FLEX LNG ~2.2% of the public portfolio). The numbers below come straight from my live Parqet tracking — Trade Republic + Scalable Capital, percentages only.

This is not financial advice. I am a private investor, not a financial advisor. Figures are real, percentage-based and from my own Parqet tracking (as of June 2026); past performance is no guarantee of future results.

§01 · Philosophy

Cashflow over speculation.

The focus is on hard assets — energy, shipping, mining and midstream pipelines — sectors that translate real economic activity into reliable dividends. Yields of 6–15 % are not the exception, they are the outcome of concrete cashflow logic.

A tanker earns money when it moves oil. A pipeline gets paid when gas flows through it. A mine generates revenue when copper leaves the ground. 80 % of the portfolio sits in stable, cashflow-rich dividend payers — 20 % stays in cash for counter-cyclical buys during weakness.

§04 · Built for

Not for everyone. For you?

01
Dividend investor

You build cashflow for the long term — not speculate. Dividends are your measure of quality, not a side effect.

02
Hard-asset believer

You trust real value: oil in the ground, copper in the mine, gas in the pipeline. Valuation runs on reserves and FCF, not hype.

03
Cycle thinker

You know commodity cycles run 10–15 years. Capex today decides supply five years out. Patience beats excitement.

§08 · About the Analyst

Marco Bozem — Hard-Asset Investor

Founder of MB Capital Strategies. I have been investing my own capital since 2018, with a dedicated focus on hard-asset dividend strategies since 2022. My portfolio concentrates on shipping stocks, mining, pipelines and energy — companies that pay real cashflow, not just promise it.

All research on this platform is based on my own due diligence — public financials, SEC filings, company investor relations materials. I hold real positions in most analysed companies (CMB.Tech, TORM, FLEX LNG, Thungela, Dorian LPG and others). Skin in the game, not just commentary.

§07 · FAQ

Frequently asked.

What are hard assets and why do they pay high dividends?
Hard assets are physical, tangible businesses — ships, pipelines, mines, oil wells, infrastructure. They generate cashflow from real operations: a tanker earns freight rates, a pipeline collects tariffs, a mine produces metals. Because value comes from physical activity (not growth hopes), they distribute more cash — typically 6–15% yields.
What is your investment philosophy?
80/20: 80% in stable high-dividend hard-asset stocks — pipelines, mining royalties, shipping, infrastructure. 20% in cash/ultrashort bonds for tactical deployment. Focus is always on cashflow, never price speculation.
How can I see your portfolio?
The full portfolio is live via Parqet — both Scalable Capital and Trade Republic positions visible with every holding, every dividend payment, every allocation change.
