Hampton Financial has made its first move into the shipping sector, acquiring a stake in U.S.-listed Greek shipping company Icon Energy, controlled by Ismini Panagiotidi.
The Toronto-based company announced that it invested approximately CAD 550,000 to purchase 325,000 shares, thereby acquiring a 10% stake in Icon Energy.
Hampton CEO Peter Deeb said the investment was driven by the company’s undervalued market valuation, as well as improving freight markets and a more positive outlook for the shipping sector.
Athens-based Icon Energy currently manages three medium-sized bulk carriers and has already stated that it sees new growth opportunities in the dry bulk market following its recent capital raising.
