The fund reaches into non-human health (e.g., survival of plants and animals) such as firms that increase crop yields, taste, nutritional content or improve pet health. BMED will include firms with varying market-cap with bias to small- and mid-caps that may include foreign non-USD-denominated securities. The fund may also hold REITs that own hospitals and IPOs. During temporary defensive periods, the fund may invest up to 100% of assets in liquid, short-term investments and can enter in credit default swaps for risk management.
