Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
There are numerous factors that support the case for junior oil companies. Oil prices remain above long-term average levels, and this looks set to continue given the huge demand created by China's rapid industrialisation. Interest rates remain low, which is helping smaller oil companies to raise capital to fund development projects, which in turn should drive growth. Finally, takeover activity is strong and this is also driving returns.
