Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BBLS—Munificent Seven ETF

VDEAVanguard Energy ETF

In short

BBLS No data

VDE Energy without the mega-cap tunnel vision. VDE tracks an index of roughly 110 US energy stocks, large down to small cap, for 0.09% a year, and it has been running since 2004.

Stated mandate

BBLS No data

VDE The fund seeks to track the MSCI US Investable Market Energy 25/50 Index, which represents large-, mid-, and small-cap U.S. energy-sector stocks.

Why people hold it

BBLS No data

  • VDE Costs 0.09% a year, a fraction of what the typical energy sector fund charges.
  • Casts a wider net than mega-cap-only energy funds: about 110 large-, mid- and small-cap US names, from the integrated majors to shale drillers and refiners.vanguard.com
  • Hugs its benchmark closely and trades actively, which tends to keep spreads slim for everyday buys and sells.
  • Live since 2004 and one of the strongest builds in the broad energy group, with a Vanguard fee structure that has only ratcheted downward.

Worth knowing

BBLS No data

  • VDE One sector, one storyline: this rides crude and natural gas prices, and it swings harder in both directions than a total-market fund.
  • Cap-weighted, so a handful of US oil majors carry outsized weight despite the long holdings list; the index's 25/50 rules limit that concentration rather than erase it.vanguard.com
  • Income arrives quarterly, not monthly, and moves with what energy companies choose to pay out.
