The firm writes that aiming to help investors capture short-term investment opportunities brought by the high volatility of oil & gas companies, 7204.HK and 7505.HK provide investment results closely corresponding to leveraged (2x) daily performance & inverse (-2x) daily performance of Solactive US Large Oil & Gas Companies Index NTR (the “Index”) respectively. With a listing price at around HKD 7.75 per unit of 7204.HK and 7505.HK, trading lots of 100 and a management fee of 1.60 per cent, 7204.HK and 7505.HK have received USD5 million and USD5 million initial investment, the firm says.
CSOP writes that oil & gas companies’ performances are highly correlated with oil & gas prices and volumes, which are determined by various factors, making oil & gas company stocks one of the most volatile sectors. US oil & gas companies are cyclical, therefore benefiting from the increasing economic activities which push up demand and prices of oil & gas. In addition, political and weather uncertainties affect oil & gas companies’ business. Trading opportunities emerge from the high short-term volatilities of US oil & gas stocks, the firm says. As a result, the average daily turnover (ADT) of US oil & gas equity L&I products grew at CAGR of 22 per cent in 2015-20221.
Recent market concerns over energy shortage caused by geopolitical tensions in Ukraine fuel the oil & gas sector performance. Solactive US Large Oil & Gas Companies Index NTR, closely tracking the top 15 oil & gas companies listed on any stock exchange in the US with free float market capitalisation greater or equal to USD200 million gained 42.37 per cent year-to-date.

I believe this pair of oil & gas leveraged and inverse products will be excellent trading tools that can help investors take advantage of US oil & gas sector amid the volatile market.”
