What are the oil funds?
Most oil funds are QDII funds, that is, funds that invest in overseas markets. There are two types, including funds that invest in the oil industry chain and funds that invest in crude oil commodities.
I. Petroleum Industry Chain Fund
The funds that invest in the oil industry chain include Huabao S&P oil and gas upstream stock index, Huaan S&P global oil index and Guangfa Dow Jones oil index. Taking Huabao Oil and Gas as an example, this paper briefly introduces the characteristics of this kind of fund.
Huabao Oil and Gas is the largest oil industry chain fund. It is a QDII fund and an index fund, and the tracking index is the S&P oil and gas upstream stock index. As can be seen from the name, this fund invests in stocks (US stocks) of upstream oil and gas exploration companies. The business of such companies is related to oil, and their share prices are very sensitive to oil prices.
Two. Crude oil commodity fund
Crude oil commodity funds are generally FOF funds (investment funds), which mainly invest in crude oil-themed funds and stocks. Typical representatives include Southern Crude Oil, Yifangda Crude Oil and Jiashi Crude Oil.
Compared with the oil industry chain, this kind of fund has a better correlation with the oil price trend. In the first three quarters of 20 18, the oil market was good (the international oil price rose by about 25%), the capital invested in the oil industry chain rose by 13% to 18%, and the capital invested in crude oil commodities rose by about 30%.
How to buy the oil fund?
Huabao Oil and Gas Fund belongs to LOF Fund, which can be bought on and off the market, such as stock account and third-party fund platform (Alipay); The crude oil commodity fund is a FOF fund, which is similar to Alipay's pension target fund and can only be purchased in the OTC market (third-party platforms such as Alipay and Tian Tian Fund).
The above is the introduction of oil fund, I hope it will help you. Warm reminder, crude oil is a high-risk investment, and the fluctuation of oil funds is far greater than that of stock funds. Investors should pay attention to risks and control their positions!
