"Guinness Global Energy delivered a solid 5.3% YTD return, outperforming its benchmark. Managers see significant upside in deeply discounted energy equities, underpinned by robust cashflows and an expected long-term oil price floor of $80/bl."
Executive Summary
The Guinness Global Energy Fund finished the first half of 2025 up 5.3% (USD), outperforming its benchmark's 4.6% YTD return. Global oil markets experienced intra-month volatility driven by brief geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, while OPEC+ continued managing supply to defend price levels near Saudi Arabia's fiscal break-even. Onshore US drilling counts dropped to 425 rigs, which is expected to soften shale oil supply growth. Natural gas markets saw short-term spikes due to geopolitical events and structural demand boosts, including power requirements from data centers and LNG export expansion. Portfolio valuations remain heavily discounted compared to historical averages and the broader S&P 500, offering attractive free cash flow yields and robust dividend coverage.
