Overview
Hennessy Energy Transition Fund
Actively managed, the Fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of companies across the full spectrum of the Energy sector.
Why Invest
- Opportunistically invests across the entire energy "value chain" seeking the best balance of reward and risk
- Concentrated, actively managed portfolio of 25-40 companies
- In-depth, rigorous "boots-on-the-ground" research led by managers with decades of combined energy investing experience
Investment Approach
The Hennessy Energy Transition Fund invests across the full spectrum of the energy supply/demand value chain, including upstream, midstream, and downstream energy companies, as well as energy end-users. The Fund's Portfolio Managers have the flexibility to opportunistically move up and down this energy value chain, overweighting sectors they believe will generate the best balance of reward and risk.
The Portfolio Managers employ a fundamental, “boots-on-the-ground” research-intensive investment process to select holdings, focusing on four key steps:
- Develop commodity forecasts and key sector investment themes
- Identify primary beneficiaries of investment themes
- Value companies on both a relative and absolute basis to uncover potential stock mispricing opportunities
- Size position based on conviction, expected return, volatility, and liquidity
Portfolio Managers
“We carefully evaluate the best opportunities within the entire energy "value chain," including renewables and end-users.”
