Two funds head-to-head: live engine reads, trailing performance, and holdings overlap from SEC filings. An engine-read comparison — not a recommendation.
From each fund's SEC N-PORT filing (2026-07-29 / 2026-08-28), computed on the 72 of 105 and 16 of 21 equity positions matched to the QuantLogix stock universe — a lower bound, never an estimate.
QuantLogix's 5-factor engine currently reads Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE) at 62/100 (buy) and State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) at 70/100 (strong buy). XLE carries the stronger composite read by 8 points, led by technical at 79/100. VDE's strongest leg is technical at 79/100. On trailing price performance, VDE leads over the last year (+44.0% vs +43.8% for XLE). By filed portfolio weights, at least 51.3% of the two funds overlaps across 16 shared positions. Signals recompute throughout the trading day — the balance can shift with the tape.
