Better Energy Sector ETF: Vanguard's VDE Targeting Traditional Oil and Gas Giants vs. Invesco's Solar-Focused TAN

Key Points The Vanguard Energy ETF provides broad, low-cost exposure to the traditional energy sector compared to the higher fees of the Invesco Solar ETF. The Invesco Solar ETF focuses exclusively on solar energy companies, resulting in significantly higher volatility and a much deeper historical drawdown. The Vanguard Energy ETF has delivered much stronger 5-year total returns and maintains a significantly larger pool of assets under management (AUM).
