BOIL takes long positions and uses derivatives to invest in the natural gas sector. The war between Ukraine and Russia caused chaos in the energy markets last year. Fears of a shortage of natural gas during peak winters in Europe had driven electricity prices to record highs as Russia slashed its gas supplies. Later, Western sanctions further restricted Russian energy exports.
