Global Reach of the Portfolio

The index used by IXC covers energy companies in developed markets around the world rather than only U.S. producers. The result is a fund that includes integrated oil majors, exploration and production firms, and pipeline operators based in several regions. Geographic exposure therefore matters alongside sector exposure when assessing how the fund behaves.

With 50 holdings, the portfolio is compact for a global sector fund. The index weighting methodology caps individual positions, but the largest companies still account for a significant share of market value.

Largest Positions

ExxonMobil leads the fund at about 18.25 percent of market value, followed by Chevron at 11.26 percent and Shell at 7.54 percent. TotalEnergies accounts for roughly 4.78 percent, and ConocoPhillips holds about 4.39 percent. BP, Marathon Petroleum, Enbridge, Valero and Phillips 66 also appear among the top ten positions.

The mix includes European and Canadian companies alongside American producers, and refiners sit alongside Upstream producers. That balance reflects how the global energy industry is structured, with several companies active across multiple stages of production.

Trading and Distribution Details

About 197,374 shares traded on November 11, 2026, compared with a 30-day Average Daily Volume of roughly 1.27 million shares. The 30-day median bid-ask spread was 0.05 percent. The fund distributes income twice a year, with the June 2026 distribution totaling $0.724234 per share.

The 30-day SEC Yield was 2.26 percent and the 12-month trailing yield was 2.45 percent, both reported at the end of October 2026. Because distributions are semi-annual, yield calculations can shift noticeably between reporting periods.

Final Word

IXC offers global exposure to the energy sector through a portfolio led by large integrated oil and gas companies. Its 0.37 percent expense ratio, semi-annual distributions and 50-company holding list establish the basic terms of the fund. Future results will depend heavily on Commodity prices, production decisions and the broader policy environment surrounding energy markets.
