How it works
PXJ tracks the Dynamic Oil Services Intellidex Index, which ICE Data Indices compiles and maintains. The index holds 30 companies that support oil and gas operations. These include well drillers, makers of oilfield machinery and firms that provide services such as well analysis, platform and pipeline engineering, logistics and transportation, and geophysical data. As of June 30, 2026, the companies' stock market values ranged from $870 million to $55.1 billion. The fund uses "full replication": it generally owns every stock in the index, in the same proportions.
At least 80% of net assets must be in oil and gas services companies. The fund is "non-diversified," so it can put more money into a few companies than a diversified fund can. Because it follows the index, it keeps a lagging stock until the index drops it. Portfolio turnover, the share of holdings replaced in a year, was 64%.
As of July 31, 2026, the 10 largest positions made up 44.7% of the fund. They were led by Frontline (5.7%), TechnipFMC (5.3%), NOV (4.9%) and Baker Hughes (4.8%). Only 39.2% of assets were in US-based companies. Bermuda (15.7%) and the Marshall Islands (15.2%) came next. A 26.5% cash figure is likely collateral from securities lending, which means lending shares to other traders for a fee. The fund held no derivatives.
What it really costs
- PXJ charges 0.63% a year, versus an average of 0.37% for the similar funds below (4th of 4, cheapest first).
- Of that, 0.5% is the management fee; the rest covers other fund expenses.
- The fee includes a 0.14% waiver from the adviser, which may end.
- Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $64 in the first year and $928 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).
| Cost of $10,000 (SEC example) | 1 yr | 3 yrs | 5 yrs | 10 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PXJ | $64 | $217 | $400 | $928 |
In a retirement portfolio
PXJ is a concentrated bet on one cyclical industry, with extreme losses in its history, so it fits only as a small add-on to a broader core.
PXJ's history shows how hard this narrow bet can swing. In the 2008 crisis it fell 73.5% from its June 2008 peak and never got back to that level. Its deepest drop was 94.8%, from June 2008 to March 2020, and it has not recovered from that either. Its worst calendar year was 2008, at -59.6%. In the 2020 crash it fell 64.6% and took 14.5 months to recover. In 2022 it gained 19.8% while the broad market fell. A retiree who had to sell in a bad year could have locked in deep losses.
The trailing yield was 2.66% as of October 27, 2026, paid quarterly. Its 0.63% expense ratio is above the 0.37% peer average. Past results don't predict the future, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere
May suit
- Investors who want a small slice of oilfield service, drilling and tanker stocks. The fund gained 62.15% in 2022, a year when the broad market fell.
- Holders who can sit through steep falls, like the 64.6% drop in early 2020, without needing to sell.
- Investors willing to pay 0.63% for an index that beat XES, OIH and IEZ over one and three years through October 27, 2026.
Look elsewhere if
- Cost-focused investors: XES and OIH charge 0.35%, and the SEC example puts PXJ's 10-year cost at $928 per $10,000.
- Retirees who need steadier value: the 10-year average annual return was -4.59% through December 31, 2025, and the 94.8% drop from 2008 remains unrecovered.
- Those wanting a large fund: PXJ had $61.6 million in net assets and about $61 million in outflows in the three months to July 31, 2026.

Is PXJ good for retirement?
PXJ is a high-risk sector fund, not a core retirement holding. It holds 30 oil and gas services stocks. It lost 73.5% from June 2008 to March 2009, its worst calendar year was 2008 at -59.6%, and it fell 64.6% in the 2020 crash. Its average annual return over 10 years was -4.59% through December 31, 2025. It may suit investors who keep it as a small add-on and can avoid selling in a downturn.
PXJ vs XES: what's the difference?
Both track oil and gas equipment and services stocks, and about half their holdings overlap. PXJ follows the Dynamic Oil Services Intellidex Index. XES, the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Equipment & Services ETF, charges 0.35% compared with PXJ's 0.63%. XES is also much larger, with $467.3 million in net assets as of June 30, 2026. Through October 27, 2026, PXJ returned 64.3% over one year against 44.9% for XES. Over three years it returned 19.4% a year against 10%.
Does PXJ pay dividends?
Yes. PXJ pays dividends quarterly. Over the 12 months to October 27, 2026, it paid $1.23 per share, a trailing yield of 2.66%. That income comes from the oil and gas services and shipping companies it holds. Those companies' profits rise and fall with energy prices and drilling budgets, so payouts can vary a lot from year to year. Income may not be a steady reason to own this fund.
What is PXJ's expense ratio?
PXJ's expense ratio is 0.63%, according to the prospectus filed August 27, 2026, and includes a 0.50% management fee. In the SEC's standard example, $10,000 invested with a 5% yearly return would cost about $64 after one year, $217 after three, $400 after five and $928 after ten. That makes PXJ the most expensive of four similar funds, which average 0.37%.
What are PXJ's top holdings?
As of July 31, 2026, PXJ's largest holdings were Frontline (5.7%), TechnipFMC (5.3%), NOV (4.9%), Baker Hughes (4.8%), Noble (4.5%) and Transocean (4.3%). The top 10 made up 44.7% of the fund. The index includes logistics and transportation companies. That is why tanker and shipping firms such as International Seaways, Okeanis Eco Tankers and Teekay Tankers sit alongside drillers and equipment makers.
