EnergyFunders announces the opening of a new fund, Yield Fund II, available to accredited investors. The company is building upon the recent success of Yield Fund I - its large fundraising effort to date. Yield Fund II will follow a similar structure to Yield Fund I, focusing primarily on accessing private market drilling and production opportunities, which can provide investors with potential hedges against inflation and stock market volatility.

In addition, investing in oil and gas may potentially reduce investors' tax liabilities, an ever-important factor as investors turn their focus to year-end financials.
