Yale University Invested in Oil Futures

[From article]
"The CFTC never identified specific investors publicly, but The Wall Street Journal recently reviewed the list. It offers a rare glimpse of the secretive world of oil trading, where buying and selling often takes place away from public markets.

The list could fuel calls for a crackdown on oil speculators, a label critics apply to those who trade in oil but don't use or produce it.
A range of investors were in the market, too. Yale University, Singapore's government, hedge funds Brevan Howard and D.E. Shaw & Co., as well as pension funds for Texas teachers and Danish workers all held positions, according to the list."
