Oil ETF
Oil ETFs allow investors, both retail and institutional, an easy and affordable way to invest in one of the world’s most important commodity. There are a number of exchange traded products that focus on the black oil. Historically, that number has increased over time, and is expected to increase if analyst prediction of peak oil comes true and new fund families expand their product offerings. As always, do your due diligence as to the expenses, tax implications, and the index/futures each oil ETF tracks.
