Oil Assets Program Description

Investing With Oil Assets Finance


Aside from supply and demand factors, another force driving oil prices has been investors and speculators bidding on oil & gas futures contracts. Many major institutional investors now involved in the oil markets, such as pension and endowment funds, hold commodity-linked investments as part of a long-term asset-allocation strategy.


Regardless of the underlying reasons for changes in oil prices, investors who want to capitalize on energy price fluctuations have a number of options. One simple way for the average person to invest in oil is through stocks of oil drilling and service companies.
