Strategic Raw Materials

Investing in the materials that build the world.

Steamboat Industries makes strategic investments across the raw materials supply chain it designates as critical to global industrial production — grounded in the experience, credibility and track record of its founders.

Track Record

Our depth of knowledge and relationships in these geopolitically strategic industries is born out of the experience, credibility and reputation of our founders — who have worked together for over 15 years as senior executives and investors.

Investment Philosophy

A considered, long-term outlook — paired with proprietary judgment.

01 The long view

Our philosophy pairs a considered, long-term strategic outlook of future global raw material consumption requirements with a complementary investing approach grounded in the proprietary experience and judgment of our leadership.

We capitalize on volatility, applying the “long lens” to raw materials markets — investing in high quality assets at attractive valuations.

02 Flexible capital

We invest across the capital structure — including debt, equity and royalties — giving us the flexibility to craft bespoke capital solutions for companies with specific objectives.

North America Australia Europe South America

Focus Areas

The critical raw materials supply chain, end to end.

Core resource assets at the base of the industrial supply chain — the primary production the world's manufacturing depends on.

II

Logistics & Infrastructure

The rail, port and handling infrastructure that moves raw materials reliably from source to market.

The midstream conversion and beneficiation that turns raw output into refined industrial feedstock.
