Investment Thesis

IYH is the healthcare sector with a quarter-century of receipts: through patent cliffs, the ACA, a pandemic and the GLP-1 era, the large-cap health complex compounded — and the +25% rehabilitation year extended the record. Against FHLC it trades a higher fee for the Russell large-cap definition and the deepest history in the category.

Who It's For

Sector investors who want the established large-cap healthcare vehicle. Fee-sensitive buyers take FHLC; history-and-liquidity buyers land here.
