| ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL HEDGE FUNDS |
|
The new investment paradigm Hedge funds seek new areas of investment where returns may be stronger, and that opportunity is in global energy business and emerging environmental financial markets. For the last couple of decades, energy commodity prices moved sideways within a narrow range, but then suddenly began an in exorable rise about two years ago.
This book is envisioned as a road map to identify investment opportunities in these new and volatile markets. It is a primer for investors and other hedge fund managers to take a hard look at this complex sector, which is now rife with both investment opportunities and risk. The relative immaturity of both energy and environmental financial markets point too much opportunity in this sector than is currently realized, but it does not fit tidily into the macro models and more sophisticated trading of foreign exchange and corporate debt trading, which is the traditional realm of hedge funds. Today, there are more than 8,700 hedge funds with over $1 trillion at work, which could be levered to at least $2 trillion. In this book we make the case for energy and later the environmental, as it relates to energy, as the place to invest. It is an area where hedge funds in particular offer investors exposure to a wide variety of innovative and profitable opportunities.
