The iShares U.S. Healthcare Providers ETF (IHF) tracks the investment results of an index composed of U.S. equities in the healthcare provider sector. The fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to index securities, which primarily include health insurance companies, diagnostic centers, and hospital management firms. These businesses typically operate on a fee-for-service or managed care model, often benefiting from long-term demographic shifts and inelastic demand for medical services.
As a non-diversified fund, IHF maintains concentrated positions within this specific sub-sector of the healthcare industry. While the majority of holdings are direct equities, the fund retains the flexibility to invest up to 20% of its assets in cash equivalents and derivatives such as futures, options, and swaps to meet its investment objective. Investors can further analyze these underlying holdings and performance metrics on ValueRay.
