Description: XBI S&P Biotech March 02, 2026

The SPDR® S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) aims to replicate the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index by using a sampling approach, allocating at least 80% of its assets to the index’s constituents, which represent the biotech segment of the broader S&P Total Market Index.

As of the latest data, XBI carries a low expense ratio of 0.35%, manages roughly $2.1 billion in assets, and posted a year-to-date return of about 12% driven by strong FDA approval pipelines and robust R&D spending in the sector. Recent macro trends, such as easing interest rates and heightened investor appetite for innovative therapeutics, continue to bolster biotech valuations.
