Overview
The iShares U.S. Energy ETF (IYE) is an energy sector fund issued by iShares with $1.53 billion in assets under management. It currently holds an overall rank of #116 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 69.6 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.38% while offering a dividend yield of 1.31%. Trading at a price of $63.35, the fund's asset size places it among the larger options within its specific category, which contains 10 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer. This substantial AUM suggests significant investor adoption relative to the total number of funds available in the energy sector. The combination of a moderate expense ratio and a double-digit dividend yield positions the fund as a cost-effective income vehicle within its niche. Its ranking indicates it is performing in the middle tier of the broader ETF universe despite its specialized focus.
Over the last day, the fund gained 0.19%, followed by a 3.43% increase over the past week. Monthly returns accelerated significantly to 11.32%, while the three-month return settled at 5.47%. The six-month performance showed strong momentum with a 23.61% gain, and year-to-date returns reached 31.81%. Annual returns for the past year were robust at 41.04%, extending to a 48.46% return over the three-year period. This trajectory demonstrates a pattern of sustained growth that has accelerated over the medium to long term rather than showing short-term volatility. The data indicates that recent performance has been particularly strong, with the one-year and three-year figures exceeding the shorter-term monthly and quarterly gains.
The fund carries a moderate volatility label and has recorded a maximum drawdown of -20.37% during its history. A Sharpe ratio of 1.77 suggests the fund has generated substantial excess returns relative to the risk taken over the measured period. Although the beta is not provided, the combination of a high Sharpe ratio and a significant maximum drawdown implies the fund experiences notable price swings that are compensated by strong upward performance. The moderate volatility classification aligns with the observed drawdown, indicating that while the fund can decline sharply, it has historically recovered to deliver high returns. This profile suggests the ETF behaves aggressively in up markets while experiencing defined periods of stress in down markets.

IYE Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 3.28% and average daily volume is 1.3M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $1.53B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: IYE is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
