XLV dominates the US health care segment on practically every measure. The fund provides exposure to companies in pharmaceuticals, health care equipment and supplies, health care providers and services, biotechnology, life sciences tools and services, and health care technology industries. XLV is the oldest in the segment, as such it is used widely for strategic or tactical positions. Since XLV is both cap weighted and fishes only from the S&P 500, it tilts heavily toward mega-caps. For focused exposure to leading health care names, XLV is tough to beat.
