Read MoreHide Full Article
Launched on 04/07/2010, the Invesco S&P SmallCap Energy ETF (PSCE - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Energy - Broad segment of the equity market.
Retail and institutional investors increasingly turn to passively managed ETFs because they offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; these kind of funds are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.
Sector ETFs also provide investors access to a broad group of companies in particular sectors that offer low risk and diversified exposure. Energy - Broad is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 15, placing it in bottom 6%.
Index Details
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $201 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the performance of the Energy - Broad segment of the equity market. PSCE seeks to match the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Energy Index before fees and expenses.
The S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Energy Index is designed to measure the overall performance of common stocks of US energy companies.
Costs
Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts, other things remaining the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.29%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.42%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund's holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
Looking at individual holdings, Helmerich & Payne Inc accounts for about 9% of total assets, followed by Civitas Resources Inc and Sm Energy Co.
The top 10 holdings account for about 58.36% of total assets under management.
