FUND VIEW - Energy sector set for turn NEW YORK, July 1 (Reuters) - Unsurprisingly for a natural resources fund manager, Konrad Krill believes the sector is set for a strong bounce and says that in the short term, consolidation in the sector will provide the spurt. With just $4.0 million under management, Krill says that selling the Orbitex Natural Resources Fund which was launched in October last year has been difficult in a period when oil prices have fallen 40 percent. ''This sector has a strong offensive punch to it, as well as being defensive because valuations are so low,'' Krill said in an interview. He notes that the percentage of money invested in the energy sector as a proportion of the S&P 500 has fallen from 27 percent in 1980 to around seven percent now, as investors have shifted their money into high tech stocks, financials and consumer goods.
