As the Iran War Resumes, 2 Energy ETFs Ride Oil's Renewed Rally
After leading the markets for much of the first half of the year, energy stocks tapered off from mid-May through the start of July as a tenuous agreement between Iran and the United States helped normalize oil prices. But tensions in the Middle East have once again flared up, with the two countries exchanging missile fire and conflicting statements about maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
IXC: Global Oil & Gas Stocks Aren't Upbeat On Higher Oil (Downgrade)
I downgrade iShares Global Energy ETF to "Hold," citing disappointing price action despite bullish geopolitical conditions. IXC's valuation remains attractive at a 10.3x P/E and a 1.0x PEG, with a high 3.1% yield. Concentration risk is notable, with XOM and CVX making up over 25% of the portfolio.

Overview
The company is a specialized investment fund that primarily focuses on global equities within the energy sector. By committing at least 80% of its assets to securities that comprise its underlying index, the fund seeks to track the economic characteristics of these components closely. The underlying index itself is crafted to gauge the performance of the global energy market, offering investors targeted exposure to this specific industry segment. Additionally, the fund has the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of its assets in derivatives such as futures, options, and swaps, along with maintaining liquidity through cash and cash equivalents. An important aspect to highlight is that this fund is non-diversified, meaning it concentrates its investments more narrowly than diversified funds, which may lead to higher volatility and risk exposure.
Products and Services
The fund provides a focused investment product with the following characteristics:
- Equity Investment in the Energy Sector: The fund is dedicated to investing in equity securities that are part of its underlying index, representing global equities in the energy sector. This allows for targeted exposure to an essential and dynamic industry, offering potential growth and investment opportunities derived from global energy demands.
- Derivative and Alternative Investments: Up to 20% of the fund's assets may be invested in derivatives such as futures, options, and swap contracts. These instruments can be used for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain assets or markets without directly investing in them, or to enhance the fund's returns. This flexibility enables the fund to adapt its strategy according to market conditions and to aim for higher performance.
- Liquidity Management: By investing in cash and cash equivalents, the fund ensures that it maintains sufficient liquidity. This is crucial for meeting redemption requests by investors without disrupting the fund's investment strategy. It also allows the fund to seize investment opportunities quickly as they arise.
