Böcker av Matthew McCleery

When ESG concerns cause Reeperbahn Landesbank to sell his $750 million credit facility to “Loan-Own-Capital,” a New York distressed fund, Norwegian shipping magnate Coco Jacobsen is forced to make a tough decision: put in another $100 million to defend his fossil fuel dependent company — or toss the keys to the hedge fund and disappear on his yacht. But when Coco learns that one of his lenders is a Sopranos-style money laundering operation that doesn't take kindly to losing money, he enlists his estranged CFO, Robert Fairchild, to get creative about saving his fleet — and maybe even the entire shipping industry. Exit Strategy is the third book in The Shipping Man series.For readers new to the shipping industry, Matt McCleery's novels are a unique blend of fact and fiction that provide an entertaining and educational glimpse into the world of international ocean shipping and global capital markets. For shipowners, financiers and other industry insiders, the books are an affectionate celebration of the unique characters and timeless traditions that make the maritime industry so special. Featuring fictional characters, transactions and plots, the books offer fun, fast-paced and easily accessible insight into the complex topics including commodity trading and transportation, ship owning, asset finance, hedge funds, public equity, project financing, transactional law, asset valuation, private equity, high yield bonds, mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy and reorganization.Since the publication of the first book in 2011, The Shipping Man trilogy has sold tens of thousands of copies and have been actively used by universities, business schools and maritime colleges and in the training programs of shipping companies, ship finance banks and multi-sector value investment funds around the world.

Combining ship finance with a jet setting geopolitical romp, Viking Raid picks up where The Shipping Man left off - on a journey into the famously private world of international shipping tycoons and their financiers. Viking Raid puts Fairchild back at the table in the highest stakes casino in the world - with more than just his deal at risk.

When restless New York City hedge fund manager Robert Fairchild watches the Baltic Dry Cargo Index plunge 97%, registering an all-time high and a 25-year low within the span of just six months, he decides to buy a ship. Immediately fantasizing about naming a vessel after his wife, carrying a string of worry beads and being able to introduce himself as a "shipowner" at his upcoming college reunion, Fairchild immediately embarks on an odyssey into the most exclusive, glamorous and high stakes business in the world. From pirates off the coast of Somalia and on Wall Street to Greek and Norwegian shipping magnates, the education of Robert Fairchild is an expensive one. In the end, he loses his hedge fund, but he gains a life - as a Shipping Man. Part fast-paced thriller, part ship finance text book, The Shipping Man is required reading for anyone with an interest in capital formation for shipping.
