Long-short investors seriously targeting the energy sector need to adjust their nets and focus on placing bets on everything from coal, oil, natural gas, uranium, and other relevant sectors. This investment style isn’t about making massive directional wagers like a CTA fund; instead, it’s about leveraging macro trends to balance risks and seize opportunities in this dynamic market.

Join host Kieran Cavanna as he sits down with Arvind Sanger, founder and managing partner, Geosphere Capital Management. Arvind explores his background, how he became interested in alternative energy sources, and where there are real demonstrable money-making opportunities to be made in today’s market.

Key insights that Arvind shares with our audience include:

How a macro-overlay strategy helps manage risk and exposure for portfolios.
How his sensible energy transition thesis looked at real energy transition goals, removing the popular belief, that fossil fuels would disappear if investors stopped targeting these opportunities.
What is most important in US power and how policy regulations and current deal-making strategies might be pushing out green energy in favor of AI and data center investments.
The use of small modular reactors (SMRs) to help energy transition goals when considering nuclear applications.
Why coal is still a good strategy for long-short investors and why demand is still not at a peak level.
What he thinks about Scott Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan in the oil and gas sector. (You can listen to more of Scott’s interview with Kieran here).
And more.
