Energy Hedge Fund Center Now Tracking 500 Hedge Funds in Energy Environment

The Energy Hedge Fund Center, LLC (EHFC, www.energyhedgefunds.com) is now tracking over 500 hedge funds that have a substantial energy or environmental content in its Directory of Energy Hedge Funds. The number of energy hedge funds has steadily grown over the last 24-months as investor appetite for commodities generally and energy commodities specifically, has soared. The majority of energy hedge funds are either commodity trading or equity long/short funds with the most recent growth in commodity trading funds taking place in Europe.



's8220; Over 5-percent of the hedge fund universe now has a good deal of exposure to energy via commodities, equities and debt,'s8221; said Dr. Gary M. Vasey, Co-Principal of the Energy Hedge Fund Center LLC. 's8220;Many other hedge funds also have some energy exposure today marking the transition of energy from a 's8216;dull's8217; industry to the hottest sector for investors today.'s8221;



's8220;We are continuing to see more new funds in formation and many more in commodity trading this spring. It augurs well for a sustained ramping up of more new energy hedge fund managers,'s8221; said Peter C. Fusaro, Co-Principal, Energy Hedge Fund Center LLC.
