Sub-Sector Structure

Integrated oil and gas is the largest sub-sector at 39.10 per cent, followed by oil and gas exploration and production at 20.70 per cent, refining and Marketing at 15.00 per cent and storage and transportation at 13.70 per cent. Oil and gas equipment and services make up 9.70 per cent, with coal and consumable fuels a small remainder.

That structure means the fund includes businesses at several points of the energy value chain. Refining and transportation companies respond to different drivers than producers, so the portfolio blends those influences.

ExxonMobil is the largest holding at 22.88 per cent, followed by Chevron at 14.42 per cent, ConocoPhillips at 5.87 per cent and Marathon Petroleum at 4.46 per cent. Valero, Phillips 66, Williams, EOG Resources, SLB and Kinder Morgan complete the top ten.

The two largest holdings alone account for roughly 37 per cent of the fund. Investors should note that oil price movements and company-specific developments at those integrated majors can shape the fund's result.
