XLE ETF Holdings: Overview
An energy ETF is an exchange-traded fund that invests in stocks in the energy sector. It includes companies from the industries such as oil, gas, consumable fuels and energy equipment. Currently, the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) is the largest energy ETF with $35 billion in assets under management.
