Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3

The iShares Global Healthcare ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of global equities in the healthcare sector.

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the S&P Global 1200 Health Care Index, which comprises large-capitalization healthcare companies across 14 developed markets, using representative sampling to hold a portfolio with similar investment characteristics to the index. Because the fund may not hold all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund will concentrate its holdings in healthcare industries to the same extent as the index.
