Energy Fund 2

LOCATION: North America
TYPE: Energy

In the increasingly unpredictable world economy, the energy sector shines as a beacon of hope in investments. In January 2010, the Fast Track Energy Fund was created in response to the enormous investing potential within the North American energy scene.

The diverse fund, which includes oil, gas and hydropower plays, gained popularity with a wide range of investors quickly. The fund has been closed and capital deployed in a diverse array of assets that are already producing cash flow for investors. The fund has been an overwhelming success for Fast Track Capital, our partners and our investors. Fast Track Capital keeps a close eye on all sectors and we continue to have a bullish view on energy. The world’s current population of 7.0 billion people is expected to swell to over 8.6 billion people in 2035, with countries such as China and India expected to double their energy use by 2030. China is the largest energy consumer in the world. Magnifying this potential is China's increasing interest in Canadian oil and natural gas.

Alberta's oilsands are expected to generate more than $1 trillion of economic activity over the next decade, a number that's equal to roughly 75 percent of Canada's GDP and three times more than Alberta's current annual economic output. However, up until recently, investment in our country's most lucrative resources has been reserved for North American companies only. The recent $2.2 billion takeover bid by Chinese-owned Sinopec of Calgary's Daylight Energy is the most obvious signal yet of China's affection for Canadian energy. It also serves notice that the demand for our energy products has never been higher.
