IBB Industry — Biotech ETF — analysis

IBB fact sheet snapshot: $403.5B AUM, 47 bps expense, 2015-09-15 inception, Industry — Biotech mandate, Index Benchmark as the comparison index. IBB Industry — Biotech ETF is the legal name on the listing.

IBB's VMCI-Composite reads 65/100, derived from the top-10 holdings' individual scores on ValueMarkers' five-pillar framework. Above-average composite quality versus the typical industry — biotech ETF in our coverage.

IBB's 5y annualized total return is 15.4%. That is 0.4 pp above the 15.0% benchmark line, with a 3y CAGR of 12.1% on the same series.

On the income line, IBB pays 3.90% and has grown the distribution at 10.4% annualized for five years. The forward question is whether the underlying earnings stream supports continued distribution growth at that pace.

IBB holdings concentration: 30% of the portfolio sits in the top 10 names, anchored by AAPL at 3.66%. Technology is the largest sector at 34% of allocation.

Three comparable ETFs to consider alongside IBB: SPY, VOO, VTI. Each tracks the same broad category (Industry — Biotech) but differs on issuer, expense ratio, and methodology, so the practical question is fee plus tracking quality plus distribution shape.
