What is RXinsider’s Pharmacy500 Stock ETF?
RXinsider’s Pharmacy500 Stock ETF is a stock portfolio
comprised of the largest publicly traded companies in the
Pharmacy500. This ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is for
educational and entertainment purposes only and is not
officially registered with the SEC.
What is the history and purpose of the ETF?
On 11/1/2024, RXinsider invested $10,000 in the stock of 11
of the largest companies with a U.S. market presence on the
Pharmacy500 list with the goal of tracking their collective
performance over time and sharing the results with the
pharmacy market.
We also wanted to have a little fun and compare the quarterly
and annual results to other investing benchmarks such as the
S&P500, NASDAQ, and DOW. We felt pharmacy professionals,
pharmacists, and pharmacy students would find this
information both interesting and educational.
What is the methodology for selecting the ETF companies?
More than 40 companies in the Pharmacy500 are publicly
traded companies (the public can purchase company stock).
RXinsider selected the Pharmacy500 companies with the
greatest market cap combined with a significant proportion
of their business focused on pharmacy.
Please note that stock holdings in the ETF are proportional
to the company’s market cap (its overall value). For example,
a greater percentage of the ETF is invested in McKesson vs.
Premier due to McKesson’s larger market cap. Companies
such as CVS Health are not included because they are not a
Pharmacy500 company.

Stock Blend
We determined that the Pharmacy500 Stock ETF is a medium
blend of stocks. We assessed the 11 stocks and spread them
across two key indicators—market capitalization (Small,
Large, or Mid-sized) and valuation style (Growth, Value, or
Blend) to determine the overall style of those holdings. We
then compared this style to a widely followed benchmark, the
Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index.
