Description: IBB Biotechnology January 09, 2026

The iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) commits at least 80% of its capital to the stocks that compose its benchmark index, while the remaining allocation may be used for futures, options, swaps, cash, or cash equivalents, making the fund non-diversified.

As of early 2026, IBB holds roughly $6.5 billion in assets, carries an expense ratio of 0.46%, and its top ten holdings include Amgen, Gilead Sciences, and Regeneron-companies that together account for about 35% of the portfolio. The biotech sector’s growth is heavily tied to FDA approval pipelines, R&D intensity (average R&D spend ≈ 20% of revenue for leading firms), and macro-drivers such as an aging global population and increasing healthcare spending.
