The SPDR S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF (XPH) seeks to track the performance of the S&P Pharmaceuticals Select Industry Index by employing a sampling strategy, investing at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the index. The underlying index represents the pharmaceuticals segment of the broader S&P Total Market Index (S&P TMI).
Sampling strategies are commonly used by ETFs to replicate index performance when holding every constituent security is impractical, allowing the fund to mirror the indexs risk and return characteristics through a representative portfolio. The pharmaceuticals segment focuses on companies engaged in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of drugs and related products.
