Broader vision 

In the shipping industry, there are companies worldwide that transport grains, electronics, apparel, and appliances. Contrary to the name “shipping,” these companies often transport commodities by air, sea, or land by truck and train. They also offer storage and logistic services. COVID-19 has negatively affected the shipping industry and has caused it to perform significantly below the broader market. Last year for the Russell 1000 index, total returns were 12.6%, while Dow Jones Global Shipping returned -5.8%.
