Commodities focused HFs

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 want to move to a hedge fund focused on commodities (metals, coal, oil & gas, etc).

Can you give me some names of HFs that are active in this space?

Thanks

 

Great list, Bravo! It might be worth noting that Peter Borish (ex-Tudor) has recently joined Touradji as it's CEO. Given his trend following background, I'd reckon that's the direction in which Touradji is headed. I'm curious as to why you excluded trend-following funds- I do realize most of them rely on technical or quantitative tools rather than the underlying fundamentals, however they are undoubtedly heavily focused on commodity futures and FX.

Trend- followers( techs and quants) tend to lean more towards Global Macro instead of fundamentally focused commodity funds. The lines between all three are constantly blurred in the pursuit of alpha.

Please don't make me talk to you like an asshole...

Wouldn't commodities focused PE suit you more? Not sure what value you'd bring to a Commodities HF. Strong knowledge of the NRG sector doesn't really translate to an understanding of commodities trading strategies.

Do you know any commodities focused PEs. I would like to consider them as well. Thanks

 

Thanks a lot for the information. Yes I also heard that those HFs expected huge losses those years. I talked to several glencore employees and they told me that there are no internship openings and advised me to contact them again after my studies are finished so i'm kind of pigeonholed today.

 

I am definitely no expert in this field but as a general public speculator, I think electric car is the future.
