Trading the energy markets

As in most commodity markets financial contracts are used to hedge and manage risk for power producers, industrial companies and electricity distributors. Investment managers are trading financial contracts in order to create value and profit as in any other derivatives market.
Turnover in the Nordic power market was approximately 3400 TWh of financial power contracts in 2011.

Energy management

Energy management follows the same principles as traditional capital management. The difference is that NEF´s managed assets are invested in energy commodities as opposed to traditional assets.

Energy portfolios conducted by NEF are mainly focused on the European power markets and the oil and gas markets.
