CURE.AX was created on 2018-11-08 by Global X. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on health care equity. The ETF currently has 51.24m in AUM and 148 holdings. The Fund aims to provide investors with a return that (before fees and expenses) tracks the performance of the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index.
