Investing in Oil

If you have been wondering as to how to invest/bet on oil and make your gains, there's going to be a way out.

Benchmark AMC has filed a draft with SEBI for OIL Bees ,an ETF similar to Gold ETF.

I think there should be a lot of takers for this fund at least as a hedge for equity investments. Good or Bad, I think we may be getting into a lot of ETF's like Silver and other stuff in the future.

If you have a demat account and willing to invest in oil , wait for the word go from SEBI for OIL Bees. Once you invest in this, soaring oil price may be a good news to you!!!

Seems to be a novel idea. Since less than 65% invested in Indian equity, this would be treated as a debt fund for taxation purpose. Those who are extremely bullish on commodities can try out this fund. For new investors, wait and watch would be definitely better .

Time only will tell if CASH is king or COMMODITY is the king.!!
