BOne of the first US sector ETFs, live since 2000. It tracks the energy corner of the Russell 1000, so mid-size drillers and refiners ride along with the oil majors, and index caps stop any one name from running the show.
Stated mandate
The fund aims to follow an index made up of U.S. companies from the energy sector.
