Those risks have been known for months, in theory giving the market ample time to price those factors into health care stocks. However, all five of IHF’s top-five holdings, a group that combines for over 46% of the ETF’s weight, are sitting on double-digit year-to-date gains. The worst performer of that quintet is Express Scripts with an 11% gain. The other members of that group after UnitedHealth and Express Scripts are WellPoint (NYSE: WLP), Aetna (NYSE: AET) and Cigna (NYSE: CI).
