Company Information
17.01.2008
MPC Capital placed more than EUR 1 billion in 2007 and expects growth
in 2008
• 2007 placement volume reported at EUR 1.06 billion
• Launch of first product for institutional investors
• 2008 further growth expected
Hamburg, January 17, 2008 - For the third time in the history of the 
company MPC Capital AG raised more than EUR 1 billion from investors 
in 2007. Institutional investors and private investors invested a 
total of EUR 1,062 million (2006: EUR 1,008 million) in products 
initiated by the Hamburg-based wealth and asset manager.
The development in 2007 was dominated by the ship segment, with 
closed-end ship investments attracting by far the largest equity 
volume of EUR 395 million. In addition, the MPC Global Maritime 
Opportunities fund was MPC Capital AG´s first ever shipping product 
for institutional investors. This product was successfully placed in 
a volatile market environment, syndicating USD 228 million (EUR 158 
million) in investment. In the real estate segment, the company 
launched its innovative and much-noted Indian real estate fund 
towards the end of the year. Given that a EUR 37 million equity 
portion was booked as of December 31, 2007 and that the MPC Global 
Maritime Opportunities is geared to delivering recurring management 
revenues, both products will unfold their economic impact only in the
current fiscal year.
Moving forward into 2008, the Management Board expects to report the 
highest placement volume in the history of the company. From today´s 
point of view, placement is to increase to EUR 1,100 million. This 
optimistic outlook is supported by the contracted product volume 
especially in the area of ship investments, such innovations as an 
oil drilling rig (MPC Deepsea Oil Explorer), such new asset classes 
as the area of renewable energies and the broad range of open-ended 
and closed-end capital investments. The underlying assets have almost
been fully secured and the assets are fully financed without 
exception.
Based on the targeted EUR 1,100 million placement volume, the 
management expects reporting EUR 45 million in 2008 net income (EPS 
EUR 4.25).
MPC Capital AG's figures for fiscal 2007 will be published on 
February 28, 2008.
