Firm History
Investment Strategy
Aethon’s investment discipline emphasizes downside protection and the preservation of capital by opportunistically pursuing transactions where Aethon believes it can alter the risk / reward profile in its favor. Aethon acquires oil & gas assets that provide superior returns through reserve development and replacement, identifying unappreciated upside, improved efficiency and cost reduction, disciplined hedging, and financing and divestiture strategies. Among other things, this includes purchasing high-quality reserves in basins where Aethon has an understanding of the geology, petrophysics, basis differential, marketing options, and production declines.
