Hi guys
I am a 3rd year analyst working in a natural resources group at a bulge bracket investment bank. I have developed strong interest and knowledge in sector and would like to consider a PE focused on commodities (metals, coal, oil & gas, etc).
Can you give me some names of PEs that are active in this space?
Thanks

Hi i am also interested in this!! Any leads?? Cheers!
First Reserve is one of if not the biggest purely energy-focused sponsor. Some of the usual LBO managers have dedicated funds (for example Warburg has Sheridan) but I don't know how the deal teams for that sort of group are structured. Lots of MLPs in the space essentially operate as private equity as well.
Interested to head about this sector.
Are there many (any?) PE firms in this sector that do deals internationally or is the sector geographically focused due to how the industry is structured? I'm trying to get up to speed on this sector, so this question might be off base / meaningless.
First Reserve has portfolio cos all over (both reserves and service providers/operators) but that may not be the perfect example since they're one of the largest pure-players.
Riverstone, top boys in the energy/power space and they're halfway through raising their next fund currently.
Major PE Natural Resource funds are as follows:
Of course, there are several other small funds out there. Also, don't forget, large commodity trading firms that are beginning to operate a lot like IB firms in the early 2000s with burgeoning principal investment teams focused on buying physical assets to trade around. Look at places like Glencore, Vitol, and Trafigura
