The tables above show past performance of the ETF from 8 September 2020. Index performance shown prior to 14 August 2020 is simulated based on the current Index methodology. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month and assume immediate reinvestment of dividends. ETF results are net of management fees and costs incurred in the fund, but before brokerage fees or bid/ask spreads incurred when investors buy/sell on the ASX. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance which may be lower or higher.
The S&P Global 1200 Health Care Index (“Benchmark”) is shown for comparison purposes as it is the widely recognised benchmark used to measure the performance of the health care industry globally, weighted by market capitalisation. HLTH’s index measures the performance of 50 fundamentally sound companies with the best growth at a reasonable price (GARP) attributes in the health care industry from developed markets excluding Australia, weighted equally at rebalance. It has fewer companies and different country and industry allocations than the Benchmark.
