IXJ offers exposure to the global healthcare sector as defined by GICS. The fund pulls from the S&P Global 1200 universe, which effectively screens out small-caps, giving the fund a large-cap tilt. The fund advisors use a sampling approach to indexing. This means the fund may not hold all the stocks of the underlying index but will hold securities that collectively have the same investment profile. The index is weighted by float-adjusted market-cap. It is rebalanced quarterly to cap the aggregate weight of all issuers that individually exceed 4.5% of the index weight to a maximum of 22.5%. Before Sep. 20, 2021, the fund tracked the Dow Jones U.S. Health Care Index and until Mar. 23, 2026, it tracked the S&P Global 1200 Health Care Index.
