Take A Look At Some Other ETF’s To Play Natural Gas, Instead Of The Popular ETF-UNG
November 10th, 2009
The most popular Natural Gas ETF (UNG) has been under so much scrutiny with it’s fund that investors are finding themselves looking for other ETF alternatives. Natural Gas has been at decade lows that investors feel now is the time to get in. For this reason the Natural Gas ETF’s are on everyone’s radar and many want it part of their portfolio.
Here are some other Natural Gas ETF’s you may want to look at. Vincent Fernando from Business Insider listed 3 ETF’s we thought we would share with you below:
- iPath Dow Jones UBS Natural Gas Sub-Index Total Return ETN (GAZ) “GAZ is an ETN that reflects the returns on an unleveraged investment in natural gas futures contracts. Because it is structured as an ETN, GAZ doesn’t actually invest in futures contracts, but rather promises to pay investors a return equal to the gain or loss on a hypothetical index of futures contracts.”
- First Trust ISE-Reverse Natural Gas Index Fund (FCG) “Unlike UNG and GAZ, this ETF invests not in natural gas futures, but rather in stocks of companies that generate a substantial portion of their revenues from the exploration and production of natural gas.”
- JP Morgan Alerian MLP Index ETN (AMJ) “The JP Morgan Alerian MLP Index ETN (AMJ) is linked to a benchmark that measures the performance of the energy master limited partnerships (MLPs). MLPs are limited partnerships that are publicly traded. The majority of MLPs currently operating in the U.S. focus primarily on the energy infrastructure industry, owning assets such as pipelines that transport crude oil and natural gas. Because MLPs tend to generate fee-based revenues, their performance is not directly tied to commodity prices.”
