New Standard was created to explore opportunities within the global finance and energy market. The founding partner’s focus was to take advantage of macro-economic changes as the United States moved from the world’s largest consumer - to the world’s largest producer and exporter of hydrocarbons. This global shift has opened tremendous opportunities, especially coupled with the rise of China as the largest consumer of hydrocarbons. As the global markets continue to open new opportunities, we will continue to look at how we can develop the potential to enhance supply and demand.
