Our read on SPXE
BThe S&P 500 with the oil and gas names lifted out. Same roughly 500-stock large-cap core, one sector missing, at a fee far below what its index-fund peer group typically charges.
SPXE is intended to provide exposure to the S&P 500 while excluding companies classified in the energy sector.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.09% a year, a fraction of the 0.45% median for funds in its index-tracking peer group.
- One surgical edit, not a rebuild: it holds the S&P 500 and leaves out companies classified in the energy sector. Sector weights and mega-cap shape otherwise stay familiar.
- Tracks the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index very closely, one of the tighter index implementations in its peer group.
- Running the same ex-energy mandate since 2015, with distributions paid quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded for its category. Spreads matter more here than with the household-name S&P 500 trackers, so limit orders are the sane default.
- A small fund next to the giant index products, which is worth knowing before sizing a large position.
- Dropping a whole sector means returns move away from the full S&P 500 in both directions, and you give up energy's dividends and its inflation-hedge role.
