Marco Bozem

My name is Marco Bozem and I live in Germany. I am not an institution, a fund or an anonymous content farm — I am one private investor putting his own money on the line. I started investing systematically in 2022, and after getting burned by the growth-stock crash that year, I rebuilt my approach around hard assets: companies that move, mine, store or transport real physical goods and pay dividends from genuine economic activity.

I founded MB Capital Strategies to share that research openly. I run a German-language YouTube channel (@MBCapitalStrategies), publish on LinkedIn, host the podcast “Der Finanzfeuer Talk”, and contribute on Investing.com.

You can reach me directly at mbcapitalstrategies@gmail.com or via the contact page. Every message reaches me personally — this is a one-person operation.

These figures come straight from my publicly tracked broker accounts (Trade Republic + Scalable Capital) via Parqet, as of 18 June 2026. In line with my own transparency rules I publish percentages and yield metrics only — never the absolute portfolio size, share counts, or euro position values.

My largest publicly disclosed positions — heavily weighted toward shipping, which is the heart of the portfolio:

The full, continuously updated breakdown lives on the portfolio page. A position appearing here means it cleared my own criteria at a point in time — it is a disclosure, not a recommendation.

2022: Getting Started — and Getting Burned

In 2022 I started investing systematically — like most people at first: ETFs, growth stocks, tech hype. Then interest rates rose sharply and growth stocks crashed. My portfolio crashed with them. That was the turning point: I no longer wanted to depend on price appreciation. I wanted companies that pay me cash every quarter, regardless of what the market does.

2023: Discovering Hard Assets

The search for real, physically secured cashflow led me to hard assets: shipping stocks (tankers earn as long as crude oil is transported), midstream pipelines (operators collect throughput fees regardless of oil prices), and mining (producers and royalty companies that turn real commodities into dividends). These business models pay distributions from genuine economic activity, not accounting tricks.

2024: Building the Platform & Research Community

I began sharing my research on YouTube — and quickly noticed many investors ask the same question: “How do I find stocks that pay truly sustainable dividends?” MB Capital Strategies grew out of that: a platform with real analyses, real numbers, real positions. No buy recommendations — just research.

2025–2026: Scaling & Deepening

Today the portfolio spans roughly 277 positions, heavily weighted toward shipping (CMB.Tech, TORM, Dorian LPG, FLEX LNG), with meaningful allocations in mining (Thungela, Vale), energy (Ecopetrol, BP, APA) and midstream (ONEOK, Enagás). As a contributor on Investing.com, I also reach an international investor audience.

What Sets Me Apart From the Typical “Finance YouTuber”

• Real money, real positions — portfolio publicly tracked, no theoretical recommendations
• Sector focus instead of scattershot — deep dives into shipping, mining & pipelines instead of superficial “top 10” lists
• Metrics-driven — YOC, TCE, DCF, coverage ratio: I explain what actually matters
• No clickbait, no buy recommendations — just research; the decision is yours
• Skin in the game — bad analysis costs me real money, so I cannot afford to be sloppy

Most retail investors chase price appreciation. I invest differently: cashflow first. Dividends from hard assets — from companies that move real, physical goods — form the core of my portfolio.

Why Hard Assets?

Energy gets transported, commodities get mined, ships sail — regardless of what Mr. Market thinks on any given day. This economic reality provides inflation protection and delivers predictable distributions. My Hard Assets Guide explains the four core categories with concrete metrics.

The 80/20 Rule

80% of my focus goes to stable, predictable dividend payers — midstream pipelines, infrastructure, mining producers. 20% goes to more cyclical high-dividend positions like tanker & shipping stocks, which deliver outsized returns during up-cycles but require careful cycle awareness.

MB Capital Strategies Global is not an asset manager, not an investment advisor and not a financial product — it is an independent research & content platform run by a private investor.

What I am: a private investor who has been investing his own capital since 2022 with a focus on hard-asset dividend strategies, founder of MB Capital Strategies, content creator on YouTube and LinkedIn, podcast host, and currently studying for the CFA Level I exam.

What I am not: I am not a CFA charterholder, not a CFP, not a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), and not a licensed financial advisor in any jurisdiction.

Why this matters for you: because I am explicitly not a professional advisor, I have no fiduciary obligation to you — so always do your own due diligence. But every analysis you read here is filtered through my own capital being on the line. I cannot afford the comfortable narratives a sell-side analyst writing about a stock they do not own can afford.
