Description: XLV Health Care Sector SPDR Fund October 14, 2025

The Health Care Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLV) seeks to replicate the performance of its underlying index by investing at least 95 % of assets in the constituent securities. The index is composed of companies across pharmaceuticals, health-care equipment & supplies, health-care providers & services, biotechnology, life-sciences tools & services, and health-care technology, and the ETF is classified as a non-diversified fund.

Key quantitative points to note: XLV’s expense ratio stands at 0.12 %, placing it among the lower-cost options in the health-care ETF space; as of the latest reporting period, the fund holds roughly $30 B in assets under management, with the top five holdings (e.g., UnitedHealth Group, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Merck, and AbbVie) together accounting for about 45 % of total net assets. Sector-level drivers include an aging U.S. population, rising Medicare/Medicaid expenditures, and sustained R&D pipelines in biotech, all of which historically support a long-term growth bias for health-care equities.
