Description: VDE Vanguard Energy Shares November 04, 2025

The Vanguard Energy Index Fund ETF (VDE) uses a full-replication indexing strategy to mirror the performance of a GICS-defined U.S. energy index, holding large, mid-size, and small-cap energy stocks in proportion to their index weights. Because it seeks to own essentially the entire index, the fund is classified as non-diversified under SEC rules.

Key metrics as of the latest reporting period include an expense ratio of 0.10%, a dividend yield around 3.2%, and top holdings dominated by integrated majors such as ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips, which together account for roughly 45% of assets. The fund’s performance is tightly linked to crude-oil price movements; historically, VDE’s returns have shown a correlation of about 0.85 with Brent crude price changes, making oil-price volatility a primary driver of its risk-adjusted returns.

If you want a data-rich perspective on how VDE’s exposure stacks up against current energy market dynamics, a quick look at ValueRay’s sector analytics can help you gauge the fund’s alignment with emerging oil-price trends.
