BGR: Oil Prices Could Go Much Higher And This Fund Would Benefit
The BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust offers a 7.12% yield and diversified energy equity exposure, outperforming the S&P 500 YTD amid oil price surges. BGR's portfolio is concentrated in major oil producers, positioning it to benefit from sustained high crude prices driven by Middle East geopolitical risks. While not a pure oil price play, over half of BGR's assets are in companies highly sensitive to crude price movements, which would allow it to benefit from rising prices.
