Over the last two years, the energy industry has literally been transformed into the ‘hot’ investment sector. Today, with high and volatile energy commodity prices impacting everyone, energy is in the news headlines 24/7. On a daily basis, new investment opportunities in the energy industry are offered in the form of energy or natural resource-specific mutual funds, electronically traded funds (ETF’s), income and royalty trusts, Master Limited Partnerships (MLP’s) and, other vehicles. Yet these new vehicles only scratch the surface of the potential returns available in the alternative investment universe via energy and environmental hedge funds. Click Here to Register

Today’s investment opportunities reveal an energy value chain that is overlaid with an environmental value chain driven by higher energy prices. In this Phone & Web seminar, the authors of the new John Wiley book Energy and Environment Hedge Funds: The New Investment Paradigm, Peter C. Fusaro and Dr. Gary Vasey, will reveal several of these overlooked opportunities including:

  • The New Energy & Environmental Business Model that is emerging
  • Clean Technology (alternative energy) plays
  • Green Trading Market Opportunities
  • MLP opportunities
  • Water investment, as that market begins to establish itself
  • Undercrowded markets in weather derivatives, spreads trading, and emissions
  • Where are the next market opportunities
