Oil Market's Shifting Supply and Demand Fundamentals Natural Resources by Van Eck TOM BUTCHER: Shawn, thus far in 2016, have supply and demand fundamentals in the oil market shifted as you expected them to?

Oil Market’s Shifting Supply and Demand Fundamentals Natural Resources by Van Eck TOM BUTCHER: Shawn, thus far in 2016, have supply and demand fundamentals in the oil market shifted as you expected them to?

SHAWN REYNOLDS: We believe that there is no doubt that the oil market’s supply and demand fundamentals are coming into place and will tighten through the end of the year. However, we think the timing is unclear in terms of how fast or slow this will happen, but we are likely to see tightening later in the year. The biggest surprise has been the depth of the changes at hand, which have created a sense that tightening might happen quicker than expected; but in our opinion, tightening is certainly going to last for some time.

When we talk about the depth of changes, we refer to the rig counts here in the U.S., which have fallen 78%. That is unprecedented in the time that we have been counting rigs drilling in the U.S., which began in the 1970s. We also look at activity levels and investment levels overseas.

Declining Rig Counts Across the Globe U.S. Count Down 78%

Van Eck

Source: Bloomberg, as of March 2016.

If we look more closely at integrated oil companies and consider that they cut capital investment plans by 25% in 2015, and are expected to cut another 25% in 2016, we again find that there has been no precedent. These developments have never been experienced in the history of the modern oil industry. While things are more or less playing out as we expected, there are certainly some surprises. They may be taking place slowly now, during the first part of the year, but they will likely speed up and endure for some time in terms of upside price correction.

BUTCHER: What might be some of the long-term effects of those capital investment cuts on the integrated oil companies?

Big Oil Projects Postponed or Canceled

REYNOLDS: It has been staggering to observe the reactions from the integrated companies. Obviously, many headlines focus on U.S. oil shale and the rig count reduction of 78%. If you dig into the volumes that are connected with these two major changes taking place, the E&P (exploration and production) companies and the integrated oil companies will not experience equivalent impact. The potential impact on the integrated oil companies will be significantly larger and longer term.

What do these reductions in capital investments entail? They mean big projects being canceled or postponed. If you add it all up, we’re looking at somewhere between 6-13 million barrels a day of projects being postponed or canceled. These projects were slated to take place between 2014 and 2020 and now they are off the shelf until post 2020, if at all.

We are seeing big projects being canceled by individual companies. For example, Petrobras [Brazil’s Petróleo Brasileiro S.A], or Royal Dutch Shell [Netherlands], or Chevron [U.S.], or Total [France]. Every single one of these multi-national companies is canceling major projects. For example, the French company Total has not approved any major projects in 2014 or 2015 and will likely not approve anything in 2016; and it has nothing on the docket for 2017. Royal Dutch Shell hasn’t approved anything since 2013, except for one project in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

Integrated Cos. Likely to Suffer Multi-Year Declines in Production

This activity is unprecedented, and we believe it sets up a situation where the oil production of integrated companies, which has grown slowly over the years but is still growing, will begin to decline. We expect a multi-year decline that may not begin until later in 2016 or perhaps early 2017. By late 2017, and certainly for several years thereafter, we are likely to see a very methodical decline in overall supply. This will heavily impact the overall oil market.

BUTCHER: For oil and gas exploration and production companies, what characteristics have enabled the successful ones to survive?

Geology, Technology, and a Healthy Balance Sheet are Critical

REYNOLDS: There are companies that are surviving and thriving. Identifying these strong companies is an important part of our process. We have always looked for a special set of characteristics that allows important and steady structural growth.

What specifically do we look for? We spend time identifying companies with the right acreage and the right geology. That’s something we do every day. We look at individual oil well results, and try to figure out what are the sweet spots for a given location. Sometimes consensus is that everybody knows exactly where the sweet spot is; but if you’re off by a few miles or a few counties, it can make a significant difference in who actually has the best rock. Therefore, we spend a great deal of time looking for the companies with the best rock. That is number one.

Technology Should be Part of the Company’s DNA

Number two is technology. The shale phenomenon in the U.S. is all about evolutionary technology and taking it step-by-step, tweaking small aspects of the technology in order to increase reserve bases, increase production rates, lower costs, and raise returns. We are always looking for companies that incorporate this process as part of its DNA or culture, and not something they’re just pulling off the shelf to try because it worked for someone else. It is the scientific culture at the heart of a company that is key in making shale production economic and taking it to the next step in terms of adding unexpected amounts of reserves.

Balance Sheet Strength Fosters Innovation

Number three is does the company have the balance sheet, the financial wherewithal to try different ideas? Obviously, if you are squeezed on your cash flow or your balance sheet is stretched, you are not willing or able to try different technologies or methods. You are not likely to risk trying something different and potentially see it fail, only to end up with a dry hole. That kind of outcome is really unacceptable, especially in this environment. But if you do have a strong balance sheet, you’re willing to try something new. We have always looked for this profile, and it is especially important in this environment. Last summer, balance sheets became even more critical, not only in terms of flexibility and the ability to try new technologies, but also in terms of simple survival. Can the company survive tough times when the price of oil is low?

The three characteristics we have always considered are the acid base or the geology, technology, and the balance sheet. This approach has paid dividends during this downturn and certainly in the early part of this year.

BUTCHER: Thank you.

Please note that Van Eck Securities Corporation offers investment portfolios that invest in the asset class(es) mentioned in this post and video. You can lose money by investing in a commodities fund. Any investment in a commodities fund should be part of an overall investment program, not a complete program. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, metals, and agriculture. Commodities and commodity-linked derivatives may be affected by overall market movements and other factors that affect the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes or political or regulatory developments. The value of a commodity-linked derivative is generally based on price movements of a commodity, a commodity futures contract, a commodity index or other economic variables based on the commodity markets. Derivatives use leverage, which may exaggerate a loss. A commodities fund is subject to the risks associated with its investments in commodity-linked derivatives, risks of investing in wholly owned subsidiary, risk of tracking error, risks of aggressive investment techniques, leverage risk, derivatives risks, counterparty risks, non-diversification risk, credit risk, concentration risk and market risk. The use of commodity-linked derivatives such as swaps, commodity-linked structured notes and futures entails substantial risks, including risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value, lack of a secondary market, increased volatility, correlation risk, liquidity risk, interest-rate risk, market risk, credit risk, valuation risk and tax risk. Gains and losses from speculative positions in derivatives may be much greater than the derivative’s cost. At any time, the risk of loss of any individual security held by a commodities fund could be significantly higher than 50% of the security’s value. Investment in commodity markets may not be suitable for all investors. A commodity fund’s investment in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the fund to greater volatility than investment in traditional securities.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any investment strategy carefully before investing.

REX Shares har inlett ett samarbete med HANetf för att lansera tre nya covered call ETFer i Europa.
  • REX Shares har inlett ett samarbete med HANetf för att lansera tre nya covered call ETFer i Europa.
  • De tre ETFerna är REX Tech Innovation Income & Growth UCITS ETF (ticker: FEGI), REX Tech Innovation Premium Income UCITS ETF (ticker: FEPI) och REX Crypto Equity Income & Growth UCITS ETF (ticker: CEGI).
  • Enligt en nyligen genomförd oberoende undersökning uttryckte fondväljare i hela Europa den största efterfrågan på strategier med covered call och räntebärande tillgångar inom hela spektrumet av aktiva ETFer.
  • ETFerna är noterade på London Stock Exchange, Xetra och Borsa Italiana.

HANetf, Europas första och enda oberoende white-label UCITS ETF och ETC-plattform, och ledande leverantör av digitala tillgångs-ETP:er, är glada att kunna tillkännage lanseringen av tre aktivt förvaltade covered call-ETFer från REX Shares.

Både FEGI och FEPI erbjuder exponering mot 20 ledande amerikansknoterade teknikaktier – inklusive FANG+-aktier – och strävar efter att generera månatliga intäkter genom covered call-strategier. FEGI skriver optioner på cirka 50 % av portföljen och balanserar intäkter och tillväxtpotential, medan FEPI använder en heltäckande strategi där man skriver calls upp till 10 % av kapitalet för att öka avkastningen utan att helt begränsa uppsidan.

Samtidigt fokuserar CEGI på 25 amerikansknoterade företag kopplade till krypto- och blockkedjeekosystemet och använder även en covered call-strategi på ~50 % i syfte att leverera attraktiva månatliga utbetalningar och fånga volatilitetsdrivna intäkter utan att väsentligt begränsa tillväxten.

De tre lanseringarna markerar REX Shares första inträde på den europeiska marknaden. Företaget förvaltar över 5 miljarder dollar i förvaltat kapital (AUM) över sina strategier i USA.

ETFer baserade på covered call och options ser betydande tillväxt i Europa och representerar nu 4,35 miljarder dollar i förvaltat kapital (AUM), efter att ha registrerat över 2,56 miljarder dollar i nettoflöden hittills i år. Enligt en nyligen genomförd oberoende undersökning uttryckte fondväljare i Europa den största efterfrågan på covered call- och räntebärande strategier inom hela spektrumet av aktiva ETFer (publicerat i HANetfs senaste Thematic & Active Review).

HANetf har nu fem covered call-produkter på sin plattform, enligt nedan:

Kevin Gopaul, CIO på REX Financial, kommenterade: ”Vi är glada över att markera REX inträde på den europeiska marknaden med lanseringen av tre innovativa covered call-ETF:er. Optionsbaserade inkomststrategier har sett en explosionsartad tillväxt över hela världen, och vi har haft turen att spela en ledande roll i den rörelsen. Dessa strategier är utformade för investerare som söker avkastning samtidigt som de förblir fullt investerade i aktier, och vi är stolta över att kunna erbjuda en differentierad, aktivt förvaltad strategi för att generera intäkter från ledande amerikanska teknikledare och kryptorelaterade företag.”

Hector McNeil, medgrundare och VD för HANetf, kommenterade: ”Vi är glada över att samarbeta med REX Shares för att lansera tre nya covered call-ETFer i Europa. Tillgångsslaget har tagit fart i Europa nyligen, men vi tror att det bara har börjat. REX Shares strategi är beprövad i USA, och nu har europeiska investerare en chans att delta.

”Vi har nu 5 covered call-ETFer på HANetf-plattformen och 13 aktiva ETFer. Vi tror att båda dessa områden är redo för betydande tillväxt i Europa, och detta återspeglas i ökningen av förfrågningar vi har fått om att lansera aktiva och optionsbaserade ETFer.

”Vårt mål är alltid att bryta ner inträdesbarriärerna på den europeiska ETF-marknaden och göra det möjligt för kapitalförvaltare från hela världen att lansera sina börshandlade strategier på ett snabbt och kostnadseffektivt sätt. Vårt produktutbud blir alltmer mångsidigt i takt med att vi välkomnar fler partners till plattformen, vilket säkerställer att vi alltid är innovativa och erbjuder relevanta strategier till europeiska investerare.”
