Vanguard Energy Index Fund

$175.58+1.99% vs prior close
12018652-WK

Price through Oct 1 · Flows through Oct 31. Figures use the latest available records, not a live quote. Fund details retrieved Oct 1. Holdings snapshot retrieved Oct 1.

The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Index (IMI)/Energy 25/50, an index made up of stocks of large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies within the energy sector, as classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). The Advisor attempts to replicate the target index by seeking to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, in order to hold each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. The fund is non-diversified.

The case against VDE

Due diligence cuts both ways. These funds sit on the same shelf and beat VDE on at least one dimension that matters — the fee, the asset base, or where the money is going.
