Recent geopolitical tensions have had a profound impact on the global Supply Chain, whether it is the conflict between Israel and Hamas or the war between Russia and Ukraine. These events have led to sanctions on Russian oil and energy, with multiple countries, including the United States, also taking related measures. As one of the world's largest oil producers, Russia's supply issues have driven crude oil prices to rise, especially after the U.S. government banned imports of its oil and other energy products, causing prices to surge further.

In such a context, the energy market appears particularly active. During this volatile period, investing in funds with exposure to energy stocks may provide some assistance to investors' short-term strategies. Today, let's take a look at three energy mutual funds that have performed exceptionally in rankings, namely: Fidelity Select Energy Portfolio, Invesco SteelPath MLP Select 40, and Fidelity Natural Resources Fund. These funds are expected to outperform their peers.

The Fidelity Select Energy Portfolio focuses on investing in securities of companies in the energy sector, covering traditional areas such as oil, natural gas, electricity, and coal, while also including emerging resources like nuclear energy, geothermal, oil shale, and solar energy. The advisor of FSENX relies on fundamental analysis to guide investment choices. As of May 2025, the Fidelity Select Energy Portfolio holds 35 investments, with 24.5% of its assets invested in Exxon Mobil, and the fund has a three-year annualized return of 7.4%.
