The hot topic in the new year has been the falling price of oil. A barrel of oil to $48 for West Texas Intermediate crude. Fund managers are positioning their portfolios to take advantage and protect themselves from the situation. Some opinions and investment ideas were presented in two articles in Pensions & Investments on January 12, 2015.
Winners:
- Countries that import oil in the emerging markets (Turkey, Indonesia and India)
- Stocks in the consumer discretionary sector
- Infrastructure investments
Risky:
- Countries that export oil in the emerging markets (Russia, Venezuela and Nigeria)
- Oil industry stocks
- High yield bonds
- Index investors for UK and emerging markets
The sources for these ideas can be found
