Our read on SPYX
BOne rule separates SPYX from a plain S&P 500 tracker: companies that own oil, gas or thermal coal reserves get cut. Everything else stays, cap-weighted, the way State Street has run it since 2015.
The fund seeks to track the total return of the S&P 500 Fossil Fuel Reserves Free Index before fees and expenses. The strategy excludes companies that own fossil fuel reserves while retaining a U.S. large-cap core orientation.
Why people hold it
- A subtraction, not a rebuild. It keeps a cap-weighted US large-cap core of roughly 500 names and applies one screen, rather than re-scoring every company on broad ESG criteria.
- The screen is mechanical, not editorial: the index provider defines reserves as economically and technically recoverable crude oil, natural gas and thermal coal.spglobal.com
- Running since 2015 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it is an early entrant in fossil-fuel-free S&P 500 investing, not a recent launch chasing a theme. Pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- The screen carries a price: 0.20% a year, above the median for S&P 500 wrappers and several times the cost of core trackers like VOO (0.03%) and SPYM (0.02%).
- Cutting reserve owners removes the parent index's oil and gas majors, so results can drift from the standard S&P 500 in either direction.
- It screens reserve ownership, not emissions. Companies that burn, move or process fossil fuels without owning reserves can still be held.spglobal.com
