The entry of opportunistic hedge funds into the energy sector is creating a sea of change for the industry. Fueled by pension funds and institutional investors, hedge funds are attracted to the petroleum industry because the current price volatility provides generous returns for their investors. However, these investments are not without risk. Gary Vasey and Peter Fusaro explain the ins and outs of it all in their insightful narrative. - Don Stowers, Editor, Oil & Gas Financial Journal

From the Inside Flap
As the world's energy markets continue to grow, there is a growing need for professional literature on the subject. Sustained higher energy prices are now driving investment interest at an unprecedented level into the energy sector and that is spilling over into the clean technology and environmental financial markets.
Energy and Environmental Hedge Funds: The New Investment Paradigm is the first book to cover the universe of energy hedge funds by strategy and to discuss the significant opportunities that they are responding to, not just in energy and energy-related commodities, but across the energy industry in general including equities, debt, assets, alternative energy, carbon and emissions trading, 'green' plays, and arbitrage.
These expert authors cover important aspects such as the maturity of energy markets and how they are expected to develop in financial sophistication and size over the next 3 to 5 years, and the emergence of investible indices and ETF's. They look at what is really driving energy prices and volatilities and also focus on the next market opportunities for investors in green hedge funds and weather derivatives. In this one book, the entire energy and environmental value chain is uncovered for investment opportunities.
Reader ReviewsThis book is an overview of the energy & environmental markets. I think the price is a bit high, but this was the only source on the topic. The author writes like a journalist, and there is not much in terms of details on strategies used by hedge funds in the sector.
