Diversification is a fancy word brokers use which means don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. This is a basic principle that we’ve all been taught from an early age. John D. Rockefeller is quoted as saying; “I’d rather have 1% of 100 peoples efforts than
100% of my own efforts.” Mr. Rockefeller, which I believe we can all agree was an extraordinarily brilliant individual, is basically saying DIVERSIFY .
When we talk about diversifying what options do we have and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each. First lets discuss Hedge Funds , which goals are to provide overall growth in any type of market. The vehicles for success here seems endless however the most common approach is referred to as “market neutral” which means buying stocks they like while shorting other thus allowing for potential profit without regards to market trends.
The risk associated with Hedge Funds is the risk of investment loss due to leverage of other speculative investments, can be illiquid, complex tax structure, charge high fees and finally the actual investment isn’t transparent to the investor.
Managed Futures is another form of diversifying your investment, which involves purchases and sales of commodities like currency, gold or oil. However, they are closely tied to the market

Why buy production? Production is an asset that we know the value of today based on BOPD. Like stocks sometimes these assets are undervalued and we have the opportunity to purchase these at a discounted rate. After NDA’s are signed IGR takes the asking prices, drill date, historical production, any work-overs along with a multitude of other factors to determine if the asset is worth purchasing. Buying production as you can tell is less risky than drilling and therefor the tax advantages are less too.
Currently IGR has available the Bison Production JV which consists of 8 wells collectively producing 28 BOPD located in North
Dakota’s notable Bakkan Field. The sale price is 2.65M which acquires approximately $55,000.00 in monthly cash flow netting roughly 25% annual return of investment. The purchaser/s will retain ownership in a highly liquid asset, which comes with 1060 acres along with “Deep Rights”. In this area of the Bakkan Field large companies move quickly across acreage purchasing deep rights for horizontal drilling and are willing to pay as much as $2,000.00/acre. Therefore, selling the deep rights for up to 2.12M while maintaining the current production is a feasible scenario.
If production has sparked your interest as a way to diversify your portfolio in an effort to mitigate the risk of a volatile market give

meaning when the market moves in one direction managed futures often move in another. Like Hedge
Funds, Managed Futures can employ strategies, which potentially can make money no matter the direction of the market. However, the risks involved are leverage of speculative investments, which can increase the risk of loss, can be illiquid, high fees and the investment may not be transparent to the investor.
Non-traded real estate is another vehicle for diversification where you become a landlord of commercial properties. An advantage to Non-traded
Real Estate is that is has a relatively low correlation to other assets along with decent yields coupled with less volatility. Risks to consider are the non-liquid nature of real estate and the depreciation of property value based on circumstances outside your control.
Oil and Gas Joint Ventures (JV) have significant advantages to other investments. First
JV’s aren’t subject to the market while providing unparalleled tax advantages and produce regular cash flow. In the bullish market we have seen recently
JV’s provide a great opportunity to take some cash off the table while reducing your tax liability and thus mitigating risk with regards to the volatility of the market. The main risk is a dry hole where capitol is lost although not totally as you still retain the advantage of the tax deduction. JV’s aren’t for everyone and ONLY accredited investors should apply.
The question is where do I diversify. It’s my opinion that the market is bipolar and will always self correct. Since having a tremendous run over the last two years I believe we are in the midst of a sharp decline. The perfect storm for an investor exists currently as we have all made money in the stock market over the last couple of years, like myself, you can cash out of the market, invest in JV’s and wait.
Waiting provides two things, first time to drill, test and hopefully complete the well along with providing time for the dust to settle around the downward spiral of the bipolar market. Providing all things work as planned you will have cash flow on a monthly basis to either buy into another JV or utilize the buying power of the dollar and get back into the market.
Don’t make the same mistake we all made in 2008, take control of your future and diversify today.

Companies have to evolve which enables them to thrive in today’s hyper competitive market place. IGR is making huge strides in this arena where we are becoming a leader in the O&G industry by the opportunities we provide. IGR’s company values will never change however the means by which we provide opportunities will. We are currently in the process of vetting a new product that, to our knowledge, has never been attempted.
This new approach will lessen the risk of a dry hole through the application of associated vehicles while maintaining the alpha upside of hitting the “Big One”. The goal of the company is to provide a 25% return on the overall project and reducing that number to around 15% in the event of a dry hole. With this hybrid model we will alleviate the fear of a dry hole while maintaining the tax benefits coupled with the upside potential.
