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 54 of 66 and 25 of 31 equity positions matched to the QuantLogix stock universe — a lower bound, never an estimate.
QuantLogix's 5-factor engine currently reads Vanguard Utilities ETF (VPU) at 40/100 (neutral) and State Street Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU) at 29/100 (sell). VPU carries the stronger composite read by 11 points, led by microstructure at 58/100. XLU's strongest leg is options at 60/100. On trailing price performance, XLU leads over the last year (+-0.3% vs -0.6% for VPU). By filed portfolio weights, at least 69.2% of the two funds overlaps across 25 shared positions. Signals recompute throughout the trading day — the balance can shift with the tape.
