Resource #1: (11.17.08) The outlook for investments in the oil and gas industry remains healthy as demand growth from emerging economies is expected to recover, a co-manager of a shariah compliant oil and gas hedge fund said.
"There is constant demand for these finite resources from emerging economies like China and India, even though there is some downturn in the short term," said Russell J. Lucas of U.S.-based Lucas Capital Management, co-portfolio manager of Al Safi's Lucas Energy Fund.
"You have to eat, you have to drive, you need heat to keep your family warm, I believe those are the things that should be the core of a portfolio, especially in uncertain times."
The Dubai oil and gas hedge fund could grow to $500 million (332.7 million pounds), from its initial investment of $50 million in the next 18 months, he said.
The fund is one of four seeded by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Authority DMCC.L with total investment of $200 million. Each fund must satisfy Islamic objectives of ethical and equitable investing while remaining a commercial proposition that can draw investors. Source
