Extended read

The U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (IHE) has significantly outperformed global healthcare benchmarks, posting a 50.3% annual return. However, this performance is heavily reliant on a narrow leadership base, with Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson accounting for nearly half the fund's weight. This makes IHE a direct proxy for the U.S. weight-loss and drug-pricing environment.
