List of Pharma ETFs

Updated Aug 3, 2020
Pharmaceutical exchange-traded funds (ETF) are those ETFs which invest in the stocks and other financial securities of the companies which derive their business and revenues from research, development, manufacture, processing, marketing or distribution of pharmaceuticals and drugs of different kinds. Though pharma companies are mostly into drugs and medicines business, they may not be confined only to those two genres. Such companies may also extend to medical devices and equipment - like pacemakers, heart-beat or BP monitors and the likes. They may also extend to other related function of the health care sector, which includes distributor companies, pharmacy managing companies and care providers.

How Pharmaceutical ETFs Work?

Pharma ETFs pool in investors' money and invest it in a select basket of stocks of companies operating in the pharma sector. Different kinds of pharmaceutical ETFs exist. They include the ones which may have a regional focus - like those investing only in pharma companies of a particular country or region (like the U.S., Israel or China). Other may take a more generic global approach to pick and choose the pharma companies for investment. Few pharma ETFs may focus on type of pharmaceutical business - like generic drugs, biotech or biopharma streams. Few may like to go for medical supplies or vaccination specific drugs companies.
In terms of technicals, pharma ETFs offer a limited variety. There are leveraged ETFs which attempt to magnify the returns by a given number (like 2 times or 3 times), and there are inverse ETFs belonging to the pharma sector which attempt to generate returns which are inverse of the returns generated by the benchmark index (-1 times).
Following is the list of all 11 exchange-traded funds that FKnol has in its database for ETFs which belong to the Pharma category:
