Oil ETFs: Taking a Closer Look
MarketWatch
With dramatic events in the Middle East and the corresponding strong performance of oil and oil related companies over the last six months, many investors are taking a fresh look at investing in oil. In late March Christian Magoon spoke to MarketWatch about investing in oil using ETFs. There are a variety of oil ETFs available with many containing differences in underlying product structure, type of security owned and investment objective. Magoon cited the first consideration for potential investors in oil ETFs to be whether they want an ETF that invests in oil futures or in oil related companies.
