A smart beta exchange traded fund, the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) debuted on 01/31/2006, and offers broad exposure to the Health Care ETFs category of the market.

Is SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) a Strong ETF Right Now?

SPDR® S&P Biotech ETF is a well-diversified, low-cost ETF that can be an excellent tool to capitalize on the potential of the biotech stock sector. XBI's performance should be compared with the Russell 2000, not the S&P 500, due to its heavy focus on small- and mid-cap stocks. I believe that economic conditions are favorable for growth in the biotechnology sector, despite the recent spike in over 20-year Treasury bond yields.

Small-cap biotech stocks have struggled over the past five years, but lower interest rates may boost sentiment and M&A activity, benefiting the sector. One way I have kept my biotech portfolio churning out profits is by embracing using covered call orders to establish positions in small-cap biotech names. Many of these have become consistent profitable “rinse, wash and repeat” trades over the years.

Biotech indexes lagged broader market indexes in the first half of 2024, and trade at the same level as in early 2022. Biotech valuations are closely tied to the Fed's interest rate policy and are highly correlated to the 10-year yield. Inflation is likely to trend lower, and, along with rising unemployment, should persuade the Fed to cut rates this year in September.

Innovation has been a hallmark of biotechnology for decades and, despite some of the hardest sledding in many years, 2024 could be a bounce-back year for biotech stocks. The sector has suffered in this cycle.

Why the Rest of 2024 Could Be Good for Investing in Biotech Stocks
