EVOTECH-TRADE is incorporated with oil miners and refinery. It probably counts as obvious that there are sectors that thrive when oil prices march upward. High prices for oil fuel the same sort of process as in any other sector; suppliers look for ways to provide more of the product and take advantage of those higher prices. For energy, then, that means opportunities for companies involved in exploration (seismic survey, for instance), drilling, production, and servicing.

Ultimately, boom times in the energy sector filter into the economy. After all, a dollar in wages from an oil company spends the same at Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) as a dollar from a solar energy company. When oil prices are high, companies spend more on equipment, supplies, salaries, and the like - money that enters the economy in much the same fashion as a boom in any other sector.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH

Available through both pooled fund programs and customized investment mandates, EVOTECH-TRADE believes that its focused private market portfolios offer the potential for higher returns and greater diversification. Private equity continues to offer incremental capital gains with less volatility, given both the range of private company return drivers and the downside protection resulting from professional hands-on management by experienced owners. Private credit offers consistent long-term attractive returns and current income in a growing asset class from a diversified portfolio of loans to private equity-backed companies. Infrastructure offers stable, inflation-protected long-term cash flows from the ownership of mature, conservatively positioned long-duration assets.

EVOTECH-TRADE believes that responsible corporate behavior will have a positive influence on long-term financial performance and is committed to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into its investment processes at every level.
