Insights and Analysis

With oil prices remaining high, SCP's investment in the energy sector is not surprising, especially with new additions such as EOG Resources Inc (EOG) and the addition of shares in Cheniere Energy Inc (LNG). On the technology side, SCP's new holdings in Farfetch Ltd (FTCH) and ChargePoint Holdings Inc (CHPT) show a continued bet on the growth of e-commerce and electric vehicles.
