Description

The fund offers marketlike exposure to global pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies. The underlying index is selected and weighted by float-adjusted market-cap. It pulls from the S&P Global 1200 universe, which effectively screens out small-caps, giving the fund a large-cap tilt. Aside from that, geographic and sector weights look neutral and make it a viable entry-point to global healthcare. The underlying index is hedged to Canadian dollars on a monthly basis. XHC will mainly invest in one or more iShares ETFs that reflects the underlying index exposure.
