Why Energy Is Gaining Ground as an Alternative Investment Class

In early December, AltsWire is hosting a webinar on energy investing’s important role within alternative investment portfolios. Energy investing has grown in popularity as a strategic component of alternative portfolios – but why is it still overlooked by many advisers?
From diversification to income generation and tax efficiency, energy investing can provide meaningful value to investors. On Dec. 3, at 1 pm PT/4 pm ET, AltsWire will offer a comprehensive overview of the policy shifts that have made energy investing more accessible, as well as the fundamentals and due diligence standards that financial professionals should understand.
“Energy investing continues to gain traction in alternative portfolios, but many advisers still avoid it due to unfamiliarity with the structure and risks,” said Damon Elder, publisher and editor-in-chief of AltsWire. “With the right due diligence and education, energy can offer significant value – from income generation to tax advantages – and deserves more consideration from advisers looking to diversify client portfolios.”
Join us for a timely discussion to explore how advisers can effectively integrate energy strategies into client portfolios.
- Learn how policy and macroeconomic trends are shaping opportunity in 2025 and beyond;
- Receive best practices for evaluating credible oil and gas programs; and
- See how AI, LNG exports, and electrification are influencing long-term energy demand.
Moderated by Elder, featured speakers include Brad Updike, a partner at Mick Law; and Adam Dooley, president of Waveland Capital Partners.
