Our read on PJP

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost pharma ETFs simply own the sector's biggest names. PJP runs a rules-based screen for momentum, quality and value across US drugmakers and holds only the roughly 30 that clear it, for 0.58% a year.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in pharmaceutical companies selected through the Dynamic Pharmaceutical Intellidex Index.

Why people hold it

  • The Dynamic Pharmaceutical Intellidex screen ranks US drugmakers on momentum, quality and value, so holdings are selected by the numbers rather than by size alone.invesco.com
  • Trading since 2005, PJP has run this screen through two decades of patent cliffs, drug-pricing fights and FDA cycles.invesco.com
  • A tight book of roughly 30 stocks means the screen's picks carry real weight instead of being diluted across a sprawling sector list. Income arrives quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.58% a year the fee sits near the pharma category median, but plain cap-weighted rivals undercut it: XPH at 0.35%, PPH at 0.36%, IHE at 0.37%.
  • It trades lighter than the category's heavyweights, so spreads can widen and limit orders matter more here.
  • Roughly 30 names in one industry: a single trial readout or patent loss lands harder than it would in a broad healthcare fund.
