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.
