#2 - Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLE)
While a fund like the VTI is exceptional at delivering broad market coverage, it lacks when it comes to providing sector-specific exposure. For example, energy stocks are cyclical, but their stable, defensive posture is attractive to many investors.
The fund has delivered a total return of 48% in the three years ending January 31, 2025. And if you go back longer than that, you’ll see a consistent double-digit rate of return. Plus, the fund delivers an annual dividend with a yield of approximately 3.6%. The XLE has over $32 billion in assets under management and a low expense ratio of just 0.09%.
