Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on XLE alone. It places XLE (State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF) against 20+ popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where XLE stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: XLE's full trading record, from December 1998 through September 2026. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **What you're buying:** XLE is a energy bet first: 100% of assets, versus 4% in the S&P 500.
- **Right now:** XLE has run far ahead of the market, rising 25.1% over the past 6 months against 9.1% for the S&P 500 and 11.2% for the Nasdaq 100. Its similar funds were far apart over the past 6 months, from IEO (iShares U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF, up 36.4%) to AMLP (Alerian MLP ETF, up 6.6%).
- **Fund or market?:** XLE rose 18.0% over the past 3 months while the S&P 500 rose 3.9%. Last month cut against the tape: XLE rose 8.8% while the S&P 500 fell 0.6%.
- **Long term:** XLE turned $10,000 into $28,900 over the past decade, against $42,100 in the S&P 500. Even so, the past 5 years have been the better stretch: XLE rose 177% against 81.7% for the S&P 500, after trailing over the decade.
- **In a crash:** Across seven sell-offs, XLE has typically fallen 1.4 times as far as the S&P 500. The Covid crash took 56.3% off XLE, against 33.7% for the S&P 500. That was more than IXC (iShares Global Energy ETF, 55.1%) but less than AMLP (Alerian MLP ETF, 63.7%).
- **Diversification:** Against the S&P 500, XLE has a correlation of 0.29 over 5 years, less closely than 94% of ETFs with at least $100 million in assets. Next to an index fund it is a real diversifier. XLE's link to the S&P 500 has loosened: a correlation of 0.29 over the past 5 years, down from 0.75 in the 5 years before.
- **Better options:** Few investments have done better on both counts: only five of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than XLE with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them ABBV (AbbVie), WELL (Welltower) and WMB (Williams Companies).

## How much would $10,000 in XLE have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in XLE over the past 24 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of XLE over the same span and XLE's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period.

- $10,000 invested in XLE at the end of September 2002 would have grown to $111,825 by September 2026, less than the $144,215 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Five of the eight other investments on the chart ended ahead of XLE, and WMB finished highest, at $2,934,958.

### Is there a better investment than XLE?

The table below lists investments that beat XLE over the past 5 years on at least one of these measures: a higher annual return with lower volatility, a higher annual return at similar volatility, a similar return with lower volatility, a higher Sharpe ratio with a smaller worst decline, a higher total return in most periods from 3 months to 10 years, or smaller losses in recent market crashes, and, for funds, the same exposure at a lower expense ratio.

- Few investments have done better on both counts: only five of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than XLE with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them ABBV, WELL and WMB.

## Risk and diversification

How XLE has fallen, how it held up in crashes beside the S&P 500 and its popular alternatives, and what moves independently of it.

### What were XLE's worst declines?

A drawdown is the decline from a peak to the lowest point before a new high.

- In all five of XLE's worst declines, the S&P 500 held up better over the same dates.
- Not every decline was the market's doing: XLE fell 71.3% from June 2014 to March 2020, while the S&P 500 rose 36.6%.
- The slowest recovery came after XLE fell 57.4% from May 2008 to March 2009; it did not regain that peak until May 2013, four years later.

### What diversifies XLE?

Correlation measures how closely two investments move together, on a scale from 1 (in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to -1 (in opposite directions).

- Moving a fifth of the money in XLE into GLD would have cut the portfolio's volatility by 18% over the past 5 years for a small cut in its annual return (+23.0% for XLE alone, +22.9% for the mix).
- Among large ETFs, DXJ, SMH and DBEF have moved largely independently of XLE over the past 5 years, with correlations of 0.33 or lower, and each still earned a positive 5-year return.
- FIX made money in six of the nine calendar years in which XLE lost money.

## Common questions

### What was XLE's worst drawdown?

XLE's deepest decline since it began trading in 1998 was 71.3%, from June 2014 to March 2020. It took 24 months from the low to climb back to its old high.

### What were XLE's best and worst years?

Over 27 full calendar years, XLE's best year was 2022, when it returned 64.4%. Its worst was 2008, with a return of -38.9%.

### Is there a better investment than XLE?

Few investments have done better on both counts: only five of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than XLE with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them ABBV, WELL and WMB.

### Is XLE more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. XLE's volatility over the past 5 years was 25.5%, 1.5 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, XLE's return lands within 25.5% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

### What is XLE's Sharpe ratio?

XLE's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.93, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so XLE earned more for each unit of risk than an index fund did. The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.

### How correlated is XLE with the S&P 500?

Over the past 5 years, XLE's monthly returns had a correlation of 0.29 with the S&P 500. Correlation runs from 1 (moving in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to −1 (moving in opposite directions). They are only loosely linked, which makes it a real diversifier next to an index fund. In the table, the correlation column measures each option against XLE instead: the lower it is, the more that option would diversify a XLE holding.

### What diversifies XLE?

These had a low correlation with XLE over the past 5 years and still earned a positive 5-year return: among large ETFs, DXJ (correlation 0.25), SMH (correlation -0.02) and DBEF (correlation 0.33); among large stocks, CAH (correlation 0.17), CLS (correlation 0.12) and FIX (correlation 0.16). A correlation near zero means the two have moved largely independently.
