Book description
Praise for Energy & Environmental Hedge Funds:
The New Investment Paradigm
"I highly recommend this book for those investors interested in
energy and environmental hedge funds. It is a great handbook on these
topics. The authors make a difficult subject easy for investors to
understand. Energy and Environmental Hedge Funds are both the
newest and next area for hedge fund investment and diversification."
-Lisa Vioni, President, HedgeConnection. com
"Peter Fusaro and Gary Vasey have done a great jo9b in compiling
all of the background information that a newcomer to energy investing
should have. This insightful book helps in determining how best to
gain exposure to the rapidly changing energy trading sector."
-Raj Mahajan, President & Co-Founder, SunGard Kiodex
"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
"Peter Fusaro and Gary Vasey write about energy and
environmental hedge fund markets with greater style, aplomb, and
insight that any other observers of financial high streets
worldwide.... Outlining some of the early and provocative details of
an industry's youthful achievement and potential, it is likely that
this exposition by two of the energy and financial world's most
credible experts will become a seminal work."
-Ethan L. Cohen, Director, Utility and Energy Technology,
UtiliPoint International, Inc.
