Our read on DRLL
CA challenger take on US energy: roughly 40 US-listed energy stocks in one 2022-vintage fund, priced just under the typical energy ETF but well above the index giants it lines up against.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of an index made up of U.S.-listed equities in the energy sector.
Why people hold it
- Straight-ahead mandate: US-listed energy equities against a named capped energy index, and the portfolio has hugged that mandate rather than drifting into adjacent sectors.
- At 0.41%, it prices under the 0.45% median for energy sector funds.
- About 40 US-listed names keeps it a concentrated energy portfolio, not a diluted global sleeve.
- Distributions run on a quarterly schedule.
Worth knowing
- The fee gap is the trade-off: XLE and FENY charge 0.08% and VDE 0.09% for broad US energy, a fraction of DRLL's 0.41%.
- Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads and limit orders carry more weight, especially on bigger tickets.
- One sector, one country. It rides the oil and gas cycle with no bonds or foreign names in the mix to soften the ride.
