Pacific Tycoon Investor Red Alert

I see that some unscrupulous financial websites are taking money to send out
promotions today for Pacific Tycoon. DO NOT RESPOND. DO NOT INVEST. You are
being treated with utter contempt as a reader of these sites and should unsubscribe at
once. And here is why.
Pacific Tycoon claims to offer you a safe 12% yield (that is the bold headline) for
giving it your money which it will then use to lease out shipping containers and you get
at least a 12% profit on the trade. Woopey do. Now go read the small print at the
bottom.

a) This is not a regulated offering so if you lose your dash you have no come back.
b) The 12% is dependent on company performance. The very small print notes:
Prospective investors should also note that the return of 12% p.a is guaranteed by
Pacific
Tycoon
and
is
subject
to
performance
of
the
company.
And since this is a private company based in Hong Kong how are you going to check on
that performance?
Oh this is just Tom bleating on and he has made it all up. Er.. no. Do a Google search.
This is what the French equivalent of the FSA says:
The Autorit des Marchs Financiers (AMF) and Institut dEmission dOutre-Mer
(IEOM) hereby draw the attention of the public to the activities of the company
PACIFIC TYCOON, headquartered at the following address: Level 10, World Wide
House, 19 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong. This company advertises, notably in New
Caledonia, for the acquisition of maritime containers to be rented out. PACIFIC
TYCOON proposes two types of lease, one promising a guaranteed yield of 12% and the
other, described as aggressive and offering a high yield.
In the light of the information at the disposal of the AMF and the IEOM, it would
appear that PACIFIC TYCOON is proposing investments that fall within the scope of
intermediation in miscellaneous assets. The AMF and IEOM hereby warn you that the
company PACIFIC TYCOON has not been authorised to propose investments in
miscellaneous assets. Therefore, the information documents and standard
contracts handed out to investors have not been examined by the AMF.

In addition to its remit of protecting savings invested in financial instruments, the

AMF also regulates intermediaries in miscellaneous assets (see Article L 550-1 of the
Monetary and Financial Code), meaning 1- any person who, () on a usual basis invites
third parties to subscribe to life annuities or to acquire rights to movable or immovable
assets when the purchasers do not perform the management thereof themselves or
when the contract offers a buy-back or exchange option with revaluation of the capital
invested; 2- any person who collects funds for this purpose; 3- any person responsible
for the management of such assets.
By the terms of Article 550-3 of the Monetary and Financial Code, intermediaries in
miscellaneous assets are required to draw up a document to provide all information
that might be useful to the public about the proposed operation, the person taking the
initiative of the operation and the manager. The AMF and IEOM therefore urge
investors not to respond to the investment offers made by this company and not to
pass them on to third parties in any form whatsoever.

As to the maths? Well here is a perfectly reasonable piece of analysis I lifted from
the internet after about 30 seconds searching: Ive done some research on Pacific
Tycoon and I fail to understand their returns. For example the 2012 lease rate for a
40 dry container is approx. 1.55USD per day (Source: Market Analysis Containerisation
International).
This would yield a return of 565.75USD pa assuming you could lease all year round. Now
Pacific Tycoon promotes a guaranteed return of 12% pa and up to 27% pa with their
aggressive plan. Their cost of for 1 container is 3,800USD with a return of 12% pa
equal to 1,062.86USD. Pacific Tycoon takes approx. 70% of the lease rate in order to
manage the lease and payout to investors from 27-12%. So this would mean their lease
rates would have to be 6.7 times the industrys rates equal to 3,790USD pa whom I
think is not achievable. Can anyone add to this?
Er I do not think that I need to go on, do I?
Oh heck why not So why not check out the website that lists every container company
in the world. Er no Pacific Tycoon? Well maybe its parent company Moritzclear
Logistics SA. Erno. There is a Moritzclear Research SA based in Belize. I have not
got all day to chase this one up but it strikes me that anyone investing in this scheme is
asking for trouble. Meanwhile some people in financial services wonder why they are
not universally trusted. Taking money to send this sort of crap out to readers who
trust you might just be part of the explanation.

Thanks for Reading...
