Created in 1986, Enerplus Resources Fund is North America's largest conventional oil and natural gas income fund. Enerplus offers investors the benefits of owning a large, diversified portfolio of income generating crude oil and natural gas properties without the exploration risks commonly associated with traditional exploration and production companies. As an experienced acquirer, operator and exploiter, Enerplus invests in mature crude oil and natural gas producing properties located primarily in western Canada with predictable production profiles, long reserve life indices, high cash netbacks and opportunities for low risk development. The cash flow from these properties is distributed to Unitholders on a monthly basis, providing them with an investment within the energy sector that has outperformed the TSX oil and gas producers index over both the short and long-term.
