Energy Hedge Fund Center Now Tracking 450 Energy Hedge Funds
New York, NY
(ContentDesk) December 7, 2005 -- The Energy Hedge Fund Center (EHFC), the premier information source for energy and environmental hedge funds (www.energyhedgefunds.com) today announced that it is now tracking 450 hedge funds in the energy and environmental space including 200 funds focused exclusively on various energy strategies. EHFC staff believe that the true number is still higher as there has been a general rush to the energy sector on the part of many general funds over the last 18-months. We have been finding or been contacted by an average of about fifteen hedge funds per month since we started the directory of energy hedge funds," reports EHFC co-founder, Dr. Gary M. Vasey. While many are new funds some are existing funds that have exposed more of their assets under management to the energy sector. The EHFC directory of energy hedge funds is available to subscribers on a monthly basis at the Energy Hedge Fund Center website and currently tracks equity, commodity, distressed assets, debt, alternative energy and natural resource funds of hedge funds with more than a 20% of assets under management exposed to the energy complex.
The directory has almost 200 subscribers.Co-founders, Peter C. Fusaro and Dr. Gary M. Vasey also edit and publish a twice monthly electronic newsletter, Energy Hedge. A recent story in Energy Hedge featured an analysis of strategies and the performance of a sample of energy hedge funds over 2004 and up to the third quarter of 2005.
Energy equity funds surveyed returned 21.96 per cent in 2004 and 10.78 per cent for the first half of 2005 while the energy commodity funds sampled had returned17.11 per cent in 2004 and -0.57 per cent on average through the first half of 2005. Even after a poor month in October for hedge funds in general, many energy hedge funds have performed strongly again this year and much better than the hedge fund indices through 2005. We are continuing to find investment interest in less crowded hedge fund areas such as carbon trading, freight rates, spreads trading and weather derivatives which promise investors better returns, says Mr. Peter C. Fusaro. The EHFC principals are also holding an online seminar on December, 15th, 2005 on the broader impact of energy hedge funds.

It's fun and exciting until the darn thing goes off.A D-bomb explosion would have the same impact on the global financialmarket, as an H-bomb would have denoted over Salt Lake City. The resultwould be a multi-century wasteland after the explosion.
A D-bomb explosionmeans that our Civilization will be facing a new multi-century Dark Age.The D-bomb is the Derivatives Market. In theory, derivatives are balancedrisk investments that allow Hedge Funds, banks, insurance companies andothers to profit from the spread created by the bet.
