The iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (IHI) tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Select Medical Equipment Index, providing targeted exposure to domestic companies involved in the manufacturing and distribution of medical technology. The fund’s holdings include producers of durable medical equipment such as MRI scanners, pacemakers, X-ray machines, and prosthetic devices.
The medical device sector is characterized by high research and development costs and significant regulatory barriers to entry, which can create competitive moats for established firms. Companies in this space often utilize a recurring revenue model through the sale of specialized consumables and maintenance contracts associated with their proprietary hardware.
Investors can further evaluate these fundamentals by reviewing the detailed analytics available on ValueRay.
As a non-diversified fund, IHI maintains a concentrated portfolio focused strictly on the medical technology industry rather than the broader healthcare sector. This structure allows for precise positioning within a market segment driven by aging demographics and continuous advancements in surgical and diagnostic technology.

- FDA approval cycles and regulatory shifts impact product launch timelines and valuations
- R&D expenditure and manufacturing costs fluctuate with global supply chain stability
