The iShares U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (IHE) was launched on May 1, 2006, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Healthcare - Pharma segment of the equity market.

IHE benefits from structural growth in obesity therapies, robust drug pipelines, and demographic tailwinds but faces high concentration risk. Short-term catalysts include LLY's earnings momentum, FDA drug approvals, sector M&A activity, and potential interest rate improvements.
