A Texas-based private equity firm is broadening the variety of ways that investors can tap into U.S.-based energy projects.
American Energy Fund (AEF) announced this month that it had expanded its asset-backed investment offerings for domestic oil and gas projects.
The firm said the new options give accredited investors the ability to invest in energy sector projects that are traditionally more exclusive. Projects involved in the firm's initiative include a Permian Basin Joint Venture and a North Texas Drilling Program, which would offer on-site investor briefings and operational transparency, according to AEF.
"With continued volatility in traditional markets, more investors are revisiting energy as a viable asset class," a company spokesperson said. "Our focus is on delivering consistent performance, operational visibility, and regulatory compliance across all investment opportunities."
The firm's offerings aren't available to the general public and are limited to what are known as "accredited investors." They are not casual investors but rather those typically with deeper pockets.
