VIRS Pacer BioThreat Strategy ETF
Tracks therapeutics and medical devices
VIRS has not filed its holdings yet, so there is nothing to look through.
Key facts
9th of 9 therapeutics and medical devices ETFs by net assets
Its price barely moved. VIRS closed unchanged on 89 of its 90 trading days. A price that does not move is a price nobody traded at, so the figures above describe the days somebody did trade rather than what the fund did, and ETFIQ does not rank it against funds that trade every day. That is why it carries no Off-Index Score score: a fund outside the set has no score rather than a low one.

The words on this page
- Active share
- The part of the fund doing something the index is not, as a percentage. It is the part a fee is actually buying.
- Weight overlap
- The share of money two portfolios hold in the same securities at the same weight. Above 50%, holding both is close to holding one of them twice.
- Already in the index
- The fund’s weight in securities the S&P 500 holds at all. A fund can be made entirely of index names and still have high active share, because it holds them at very different weights.
- Top ten
- What the ten largest positions add up to. The higher it is, the more the fund is a bet on a few companies rather than a theme.
