Energy Hedge Fund Center Launches Energy Hedge Newsletter Estimates More than 50 Billion at Work in Commodities Trading



May 16, 2005 -- The Energy Hedge Fund Center (EHFC) announces the launch of a twice monthly electronic newsletter - Energy Hedge. The newsletter will be edited by best selling author Mr. Peter C. Fusaro and Dr. Gary M. Vasey, co-principals of the Energy Hedge Fund Center and will include contributions from writers in both the energy and alternative investment industries. The newsletter's objective is to inform and educate readers on developments and trends in both the energy and alternative investment industries.

"The rapid convergence of energy and alternative investments is creating a great deal of interest in both industries about the other," said Dr. Gary M. Vasey, VP Trading & Risk Management Practice, UtiliPoint International, Inc. "The Energy Hedge Fund Center already serves as a portal and thriving free online community for information, analysis and discussion of energy and hedge funds and so the launch of our newsletter is a natural extension of our activities."

The Energy Hedge Fund Center already provides public and private briefings and its online seminar series has served more than 300 professionals already. Similarly, the Energy Hedge Fund Directory provided by the Center on an annual subscription basis now boasts more than 150 subscribers. The EHFC community has over 700 active members.

"The Energy Hedge Fund Center is now tracking more than 330 hedge funds active in the energy and energy-related industries," reports Mr. Peter C. Fusaro. "Our directory now lists some 110 hedge funds active in energy commodity markets and we estimate that these funds have more than $50 billion in assets under management at work in the energy commodity markets."

The new Energy Hedge newsletter will be available to subscribers for a $99 annual subscription. Two initial free trial issues will be provided and interested parties may subscribe at www.energyhedgefunds.com. The Directory of Energy Hedge Funds is available on an annual subscription basis from the Energy Hedge Fund Center website at www.energyhedgefunds.com.
