Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

TRUMCVanEck Materials TruSector ETF

XMEBState Street SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF

In short

TRUM No data

XME Not the chemicals-heavy materials fund. XME holds roughly 40 miners and steelmakers on a modified equal weight, so a small copper name carries about the weight of a giant. Ore, coal and metal, since 2006.

Stated mandate

TRUM No data

XME The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the S&P Metals and Mining Select Industry Index.

Why people hold it

TRUM No data

  • XME Pure play on the metals and mining slice: aluminum, coal, copper, gold, precious metals, silver and steel sub-industries, not the whole materials sector.ssga.com
  • Modified equal weighting spreads exposure across large, mid and small caps, so the biggest miners don't set the tone for the whole portfolio.ssga.com
  • One of the more actively traded funds in its corner of the market, and a multi-billion-dollar fund that has been running since 2006.
  • 0.35% expense ratio, slightly under the median for the materials funds we grade, which is unusual for a narrow industry sleeve.

Worth knowing

TRUM No data

  • XME Broad materials funds cost far less: XLB at 0.08% and VAW at 0.09%. They also own a very different mix, chemicals and packaging included.
  • About 40 names, many of them smaller miners, in one cyclical industry. Swings run wider than a diversified sector fund's.
  • The portfolio's fortunes track commodity cycles in steel, coal, copper and gold rather than broad industrial demand.ssga.com
