Oil Etf


Oil ETF recommendations?

I’m thinking of investing in a (preferably UK based) oil ETF what does everyone think of CRUD? Would anyone recommend any others?

If you keep it simple just invest in any oil ETF and CRUD is good enough. If you want to go a bit deeper look at the difference in supply & demand for Brent vs. The rest (for a start Brent is going to run out a lot sooner). Other than that learn a bit about the way oil futures contracts are rolled over for ETFs. Learn about contango and backwardation in oil futures. This will give you a better insight into the different ETFs. Have a look at ETF Securities website for more info.
