The small community lies about 6 miles west of Dallas. al u me rci Producing oil leases in 2012: 1,262, – up from 72 in 2011 se Depth: 4,000 to 12,000 feet als -N ot fo rc om Producing gas wells in 2012: 875 – up from 550 in 2011 Continued on page 23 ca n Ci ty Bu sin es sJ ou rn shale and release trapped hydrocarbons. “It’s more of a manufacturing process than wildcatting,” Flavin explains. “It’s a matter of: Can you drill appropriately and hit that zone?” And, as long as oil stays above a certain price, this process remains a proﬁtable one, he says. The variety of opportunity is certain to attract those with funds to invest, but in the midst of the excitement created by Eagle Ford, one thing professional consultants agree on is the importance of their favorite two words: Due diligence. “There is naturally an increase in curiosity about energy investing, given all that is going on,” says Ed Hart, managing director at Sendero Wealth Management. There is a place in all portfolios for energy investments, he says. “We just need to size it appropriately for each individual investor’s risk-reward proﬁle,” he adds. On the pages that follow, four San Antonio-based ﬁnancial experts offer thoughts on where the opportunities are — and perhaps more importantly, where they aren’t. There are scams out there. Always check with the Texas State Securities Board, which regulates the industry and helps protect consumers. Its investor education website — texasinvestored.org — is a good place to start. Or call (888) 663-0009 for a free background check on anyone selling securities or investment opportunities. Am eri F or any Texan unfamiliar with the term man camps, a drive south of the city serves as a convincing argument for the media and economic development frenzy created by the Eagle Ford Shale. From convenience stores and living quarters to oil-and-gas service companies, the modern-day gold rush created by this hydrocarbon producing formation is ripe with both opportunity and risk. But those who know the oil-and-gas game know also that it is a boom-and- bust business, says Wendy Kowalik, president of San Antonio-based ﬁnancial consulting ﬁrm Predico Partners. “Remember what happened with the last oil boom-and-then bust. There always should be caution when chasing a return,” she says. “As Sir John Templeton says: ‘The ﬁve most dangerous words in investing are: ‘This time, it is different.’” But given the possibilities created by hydraulic fracturing, is it different this time? Though oil-and-gas is typically cyclical, the process in the case of Eagle Ford is not the traditional one, says Meade Flavin, partner at San Antonio-based Pasadera Capital LLC, which does M&A and raises capital for privately held companies. While geologists have long been aware of the Eagle Ford formation, it was the process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking that made it possible to open up the dense © BY NICOLE BRADFORD Jeanie Wyatt, CFA, CEO SELECTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 WOMEN RIA (REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISOR) OWNERS IN THE U.S. FOR 2013 BY WEALTHMANAGEMENT.COM She is one of only two Texans ranking in the Top 10 of this prestigious list of women-owned RIAs selected from across the country. Ms. Wyatt was also recently named one of Barron’s “Top 100 Independent Investment Advisors” and one of wealthmanagement.com’s “Top 25 Women Investment Advisors.” South Texas Money Management was founded in 2000 and manages approximately $1.9 billion in assets (as of 3/31/2013), including equity, ﬁxed income, and balanced asset classes for individuals, trusts, retirement plans, charitable foundations and endowments, as well as for bank trust departments and other institutions.

The wealthmanagement.com <http://wealthmanagement.com> list was assembled by Meridian IQ and was cross-checked with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ﬁlings. The women selected are required to directly own at least 25 percent of their ﬁrm, and their ﬁrm may have no more than 50 percent institutional clients. Additionally, none of the RIAs on the list may operate as a broker/dealer, a bank, or be afﬁliated with an investment company, and they must have some individual clients for whom they do ﬁnancial planning. Top 25 women investment advisors was assembled by Meridian IQ for www.wealthmanagement. com <http://www.wealthmanagement.com> , are ranked by their total assets under management. Women advisors were also required to directly own at least 25 percent of the ﬁrm; have at least some individual clients for whom they do ﬁnancial planning, and no more than 50 percent institutional clients. Additionally, none of the RIAs on the list operates a broker/dealer, a bank, or is afﬁliated with an investment company. Barron’s ranks advisors based on data provided by individual advisors and their ﬁrms. Advisor data is conﬁrmed via regulatory databases, cross-checks with securities ﬁrms, and conversations with individual advisors. The formula Barron’s uses to rank advisors is proprietary. It has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced, and quality-of-practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by the risk tolerance of clients. The scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest by comparing them with the winner. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record. PERSONAL FINANCE & MONEY MANAGEMENT www.sanantoniobusinessjournal.com $100,000 level investors: A word of caution: There are $1,000 level investors: plenty of bad ideas out there. They usually involve overconcentration into one asset or idea at too high a price. One of the biggest mistakes that can be made is replacing the energy concentration risk with another form of equally concentrated risk, especially a risk that is not so obvious at ﬁrst glance. We would recommend an ETF to participate for a $1,000 per year investment. The iShares U.S. Oil-and-gas Exploration & Production ETF (ticker IEO) probably has the most participation rate, with ﬁve of the top ten ETF holdings being key acreage holders in Eagle Ford. Those ﬁve holdings are: EOG Resources, Apache Corp., Anadarko Petroleum, Marathon Oil and Pioneer Natural Resources. se $10,000 level investors: The answer to this ques- al u me rci om rc fo ot -N als CEO and Chief Investment Ofﬁcer South Texas Money Management, Ltd. www.stmmltd.com tion depends on your net worth. Consider this amount of money in terms of your net worth, not just the Eagle Ford. If you can invest your $10,000 through a qualiﬁed plan like a 401K -- or even part of it in an IRA -- that’s much better. Avoid investing in “drilling deals.” This is very high risk. The cost of drilling a well in the Eagle Ford is huge, so there is always a demand for capital, and very few people can afford this type of investment. A word of caution: Trouble almost always begins with investment ideas or “schemes” that lack transparency and/or are illiquid. Many with newfound wealth ﬁnd themselves confronted with all sorts of investment pitches that sound too good to be true, because they usually are. Continued on next page ca n Ci ty Bu sin es sJ ou The best way to invest in energy, Eagle Ford Shale or otherwise, would be to own public equity or debt of companies involved in these shale resource plays. There are exploration and production companies, oilﬁeld service companies and pipeline companies that have operations in and around the Eagle Ford, and other ﬁelds around the country. Investors will also want to be keenly aware of being well diversiﬁed, so energy sector mutual funds or exchange traded funds are also good options. Texas is full of hard working entrepreneurs, and some of the ways these folks are making money are really interesting. A lot of trucking companies have been started to help carry and remove water and chemicals from individual drilling sites. There are salt-water disposal well businesses to help deal with the excess wastewater produced by fracked wells. There are “man-camp” type developments to deal with the increased demand for employee housing in the region. Many landowners are being very smart with their properties and leasing or selling small parts out to larger companies in need of storage facilities or gathering stations. rn $1,000 and $10,000 level investors: 23 The same investing options apply at this level. However, if someone has $100,000 to invest directly, other opportunities become available. There are a number of direct investments available to such an investor. The key issue will be sourcing these investments and conducting proper due diligence such that the investor will be aware of all the risks associated with it. Some options might include direct working interest in a producing well, purchase and ownership of existing mineral interests, participation in a drilling program or ownership in a service company working over the Eagle Ford. Each of these carries a variety of opportunity-speciﬁc risks. While the reward can be high, there is also the chance of losing most or all of one’s investment.

First, many investment advisors are using MLPs (Master limited partnerships) to increase income for clients who can not get the yields and income from bonds any longer. Additionally, they are recommending money managers that are heavy in their energy bets directly in the U.S. Partner Pasadera Capital LLC pasaderacapital.com For potential investors: We represent companies and help them attract ﬁnancing either to grow or make acquisitions. The biggest bank for your buck would be a direct investment to a company seeking to provide a new service or product offering directly to the oilﬁeld. The opportunities in these resource plays are through new technology, providing needed services or in infrastructure. Among opportunities she’s seen: I think the most innovative I have seen is the woman who purchased numerous washing machines and is making quite a nice sum of money each month by laundering oil ﬁeld workers uniforms after a rough day on the job. With many living in hotel rooms, ﬁnding a washing machine is harder than you would think. Opportunities he’s seen: se We’ve seen a lot of companies leveraging 1. EOG Resources, Houston, TX 2. Burlington Resources (a unit of ConocoPhillips), Houston, TX om I have seen some investment advisors recommending expensive products to clients and without experience in some of the more complicated products, it may take quite a bit of time for them to see how much they have lost in making the investment. 3.

The Texas vs. The Nation game is going on hiatus in 2012. In its place, the NFLPA has created its own all-star event featuring top NFL draft prospects that will be played at the Home Depot Center near Los Angeles later this month. The Texas vs. The Nation game will return in 2013 in a new stadium located north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in Allen, Texas. “We wanted to do an event that was exclusively managed by the NFL Players Association and to implement programs to assist players with their transition into the NFL,” says NFLPA spokesman Carl Francis.
