VDEVanguard Energy ETF

Vanguard Energy ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides focused exposure to U.S. energy companies across large-, mid-, and small-cap segments. The fund is designed to track the MSCI US Investable Market Energy 25/50 Index, giving investors access to businesses involved in oil and gas exploration and production, integrated energy, refining, pipelines, and related services. Managed by Vanguard, the ETF uses a passive indexing approach and concentrates its portfolio in the energy sector, making it a targeted tool for tracking the performance of this part of the U.S. equity market. It is used by market participants seeking sector-specific exposure rather than broad market diversification, and it plays a role as a liquid, index-based vehicle for representing the energy industry within portfolios.
