European ETF line-up to counter rising energy bills

Europe's battle with skyrocketing energy prices is taking a toll on the region's economies, draining household incomes and standing in the way of a real green transition. Natural Gas, which supplies more than fifth of Europe's total energy production is to blame.

On Tuesday, Dutch TTF Gas Futures (Jan'22) extended gains to new record highs at €180 per megawatt-hour (4:30pm GMT+1), up +911% this year. A series of market, geographic and political factors have brewed into a perfect storm that shows no signs of retreat as the old continent enters the winter season.

To counter their rising energy bill, European investors can consider Exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) with exposure to European Natural Gas equities. For instance, Lyxor STOXX Europe 600 Oil & Gas UCITS ETF(OIL), iShares STOXX Europe 600 Oil & Gas UCITS ETF (EXH1) and Invesco STOXX Europe 600 Optimised Oil & Gas UCITS ETF (XEPS) invest in the largest stocks of the oil & gas industry in Europe, including global players like Total Energies, BP PLC and Royal Dutch Shell. These ETFs have gained +20%, +15% and +18% respectively this year and have attracted more than half a billion euros in combined net inflows.
