Energy Fund II
Looking Back
WTI started Q4 at around $48, dipping as low as
$42 before recovering and ending the quarter
around $53, resulting in a hard earned 10% gain.
The main event in Q4 had to be the November
30th last minute agreement by OPEC to cut pro-
duction levels. This represented the first OPEC
production cut since 2008.
This was followed by an additional production cut
agreement between OPEC and a number of non-
OPEC members, including Russia. A non-OPEC
production agreement had not been reached in
over 15 years.
There were many stories in the news (both bullish
and bearish) as to whether an OPEC agreement
would be reached, and eventually held.
Natural gas ended the 2016 injection season at
4.04 TCF, which was slightly higher than expecta-
tions. A late start to winter was the main reason
and as a result prices pushed down to the $2.08
per mmbtu level by mid-November. A swift cold
front moving across the nation in early December
pushed spot prices to as high as $3.80 per mmbtu
(an 82% increase from the November low).
We are now in the most historically volatile sea-
son for natural gas trading and So far, it has not
disappointed. Spot prices began to pullback to-
wards the end of Dec. While we see this as ulti-
mately a good opportunity, we expect weather
driven volatility to continue through January into
February.
Eagle Focus
Looking Back:
 OPEC and non-OPEC members agreed to cut production
 A late start to winter pushed natural gas stocks above ex-
pectation
Looking Forward:
 The Market will be monitoring the actual OPEC and non-
OPEC members production closely
 For natural gas, it is all about weather now
Investment Opportunities:
 With oil price stabilized and fundamental turning bullish,
we should see capital gain opportunities with energy re-
lated equities continue into 2017
 The newly elected president and his key nominees are
pro-energy and pro business

Looking Forward
A number of bullish fundamental factors are beginning to take shape - OPEC and non-OPEC
members agreeing on production cuts; the new president choosing energy executives for key
cabinet roles; and consecutive China PMI numbers holding above 50 are all good signs for En-
ergy. For the next few months the only thing that matters with natural gas is weather.
Investment Opportunities
We continue to focus our investment strategy to profit from higher near term crude oil and
natural gas prices, and are positioned to benefit from the related impacts to underlying ener-
gy equities as the earning season approaches.
A number of bullish factors have recently aligned which should continue to support oil prices.
We believe the long term supply & demand fundamentals are changing with natural gas but
near term weather related volatility could be a rocky ride.
The new president and his cabinet nominees are pro-energy business. We believe 2017 will
continue to be another good year for energy and related investments.
Dear Eagle—Q&A
What is the energy policy of the newly elected president and his key cabinet nominees?
President Elect Donald Trump has already nominated a few key energy executives to his cabi-
net: Ex-Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, as Energy Secretary; Exxon CEO, Rex Tillerson, as Sec-
retary of State; Oklahoma Attorney, Scott Pruitt, as EPA Administrator; and Rep. Ryan Zinke,
as Interior Secretary. This group have been outspoken critics of some of the existing EPA cli-
mate change policies and are strong proponents of developing a strong energy independ-
ence policy.
Trump and his team have announced key energy initiatives including: retracting some of the
EPA’s climate change policies and restrictions; increasing domestic energy production; re-
moving obstacles hindering new nuclear and hydro power plant construction; reducing gov-
ernment incentives for certain alternative energies; and increasing exports of crude oil, pe-
troleum products and natural gas.
