I recommend buying the Roundhill GLP-1 & Weight Loss ETF (OZEM) for strategic exposure to the weight loss drug sector. OZEM offers diversified access to leading GLP-1 innovators like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, with a 34x earnings multiple versus Eli Lilly's 45x. AI-driven drug discovery, highlighted by the Nvidia-Eli Lilly partnership, is a major catalyst for sector growth and future upside.
After a lackluster first half of 2025, healthcare stocks staged a comeback, posting the best performance among the 11 S&P 500 sectors over the past six months.
Two new weight-loss exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launched in May have yet to whet investors' appetite, possibly due to their expensive fees and concentrated bets.

The fund described focuses on investing in a niche yet growing segment of the healthcare market – GLP-1 & Weight Loss Companies. GLP-1 stands for Glucagon-like peptide-1, a category of drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. These drugs stimulate insulin release, suppress appetite, and promote weight loss. The investment strategy of the fund is to allocate at least 80% of its net assets, along with any borrowed funds, directly into the equity securities of companies that develop, produce, or market GLP-1 related products or weight loss solutions. In addition to direct equity investments, the fund may also engage in derivative transactions—such as swap agreements or forward contracts—that have GLP-1 & Weight Loss Companies as the underlying assets. This focused approach indicates a belief in the long-term growth potential of the GLP-1 and weight management healthcare sectors. Despite its concentrated investment philosophy, this non-diversified fund aims to leverage the evolving landscape of healthcare and biotechnology to achieve its financial goals.
The fund's investment portfolio includes:
