Launched on September 28, 2011, and issued by State Street, XHS aims to replicate the performance of an equal-weighted index comprising US-based companies in the health care services industry, categorized according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).
XHS's investment strategy emphasizes diversification across a spectrum of health care services firms, ensuring exposure to a broad range of sub-sectors within the industry. This approach not only seeks to capture potential growth opportunities but also aims to mitigate sector-specific risks through its balanced index composition.

By tracking an index that reflects the collective performance of industry leaders, XHS provides investors with a transparent and efficient means to participate in the growth potential of health care services companies.
As an actively managed ETF, XHS remains adaptable to market dynamics, enabling investors to capitalize on emerging trends and navigate challenges within the health care services landscape.
