Oil exchange-traded funds (ETF) are the financial products that invest the investors' pooled money into different types of financial products which are related to oil business. These financial products may include stocks of companies which are in the oil exploration, refining, marketing and transport business, or may be derivative products (like Oil futures) with varying expiry dates. Fluctuations in oil prices directly impact the transportation sector (see list of Transportation ETFs), and in particular airlines sector (List of Airlines ETFs.) One can find Leveraged Oil ETFs which attempt to amplify the returns generated by a certain factor over the defined benchmark, like two-times (2x) or three-times (3x). If the oil prices are expected to fall down in near future, one can also take a short position by buying Inverse Oil ETFs. This article provides the list of all such oil ETFs available for trading.

How Oil ETFs Work?

Different kinds of oil ETFs are available in the market, and an investor must understand their working before investing their hard-earned capital. The simplest types of oil ETFs are the ones which invest in the stocks of oil companies. These oil companies may derive their profits and revenues from oil and gas exploration, discovery, marketing, refining, processing or transporting oil, or a combination of such business streams.
Then, there are the oil ETFs which simply follow a passive investment style by replicating the constituents of any oil indexes. The third category of oil ETFs are the ones which take positions in oil futures of varying maturities. Then there are Leveraged Oil ETFs which attempt to magnify the returns by a certain factor, like two-times (2x) or three-times (3x). If the oil prices are expected to fall down in near future, one can take a shot through the Inverse Oil ETFs.
