Excerpts from Transcript of Interview with Mr. Magoon on Morning Trade Live with Mr. Renick on March 19, 2024: Statements Related to Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF

 

Oliver Renick (06:39):

 

One of the big winners in your suite of funds for the year though is not so much tech, right? It’s shipping. Tell me, gimme the sixty second pitch for BDRY because we’ve talked about that one before. You’ve got a sub-advisor on that, or did you guys take ownership of that whole fund?

 

Christian Magoon (07:12):

 

Yeah, so we have ownership of the fund, but there is a subadvisor that specializes in buying shipping futures. Yeah. Which is called Breakwave,

 

Oliver Renick (07:20):

 

Right? Yes, that’s right. We talked to them and

 

 

 

 

Christian Magoon (07:22):

 

Yeah, and, and Breakwave, you know, simply they’re buying shipping futures, dry bulk shipping futures. So the quick reason it’s done so well, it’s up to over 200% over the last six months. It’s our leading performer up over 35% year to date. It’s what we’re reading in the papers, seeing in the news. It’s the Houthis attacks, the issues in the Red Sea, as well as some of the constraints in the Panama Canal. This is pushing shipping prices up for dry bulk goods and BDRY benefits from that because it owns the futures. So that’s an interesting trade, I think to ride that unfortunately set of problems that are really headline news this year.

 

Oliver Renick (08:02):

 

All right. Wow. BDRY <laugh>. What a move. Okay, forget the blockchain miners, ships, man. Guess. that’s the way to go right now. All right. Incredible five bucks. <Laugh> you know, coming you know, into December last year or November. So cool triple there in the last five months. Thanks Christian, very much appreciate the walkthrough. Good to catch up.
