Hedge Funds Enter the Energy Trading Space
UtiliPoint International, Inc., July 2004, Pages: 136
This study examines the entry of hedge funds and investment banks in to the energy industry - specifically energy trading.
It has been researched and written with energy companies, software vendors and utilities in mind.
As a result of the dynamic state of energy markets an update will be issued prior to the end of the year (included in purchase price).
In recent months, speculation on the part of the hedge funds in energy commodities markets has been blamed in part for the increase in crude oil prices to over $50/Bbl. This timely study examines who the hedge funds are, what they are actually doing, and what the impact of hedge funds entering energy trading will be for the industry and beyond.
Over 200 hedge funds have been identified by the study and when combined with the activities of the proprietary trading desks of the investment banks, this new surge of speculative trading activity is bringing the financialization of the energy markets closer to reality.
