Why are investors putting money into oil and gas funds?
There are a few reasons.
Higher early cash flow can create income sooner.
There are also tax advantages that can make these investments more attractive to certain investors.
Then there is the power of collective capital.
Instead of putting all your money into one well, a fund can spread capital across multiple wells.
That diversification can help lower the risk tied to any single well.
It does not remove the risk. It spreads it across more investments.
