Description: XPH S&P Pharmaceuticals

The SPDR® S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF (XPH) seeks to track the performance of the S&P Pharmaceuticals Select Industry Index using a sampling strategy. The fund invests substantially all of its assets-at least 80% of total assets-in the securities that make up the index, which represents the pharmaceuticals segment of the broader S&P Total Market Index (S&P TMI).

The pharmaceuticals sector encompasses companies engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of drugs and medications. By employing a sampling approach rather than full replication, the fund can mirror the indexs performance and risk characteristics without needing to hold every constituent security, which can help reduce trading costs and administrative complexity.
