Construction of a biotech ETF🧬🚀
I'm a fan of the whole topic and don't really like the sector ETFs on the market in terms of costs and performance. That's why I've dared to construct my own "biotech ETF". I've written down my thought process here and hope you enjoy it a little 😉
1. focus areas according to growth and profitability
The percentage distribution of focus areas is based on an analysis of the growth and profitability potential of each therapeutic area within the biotechnology industry, taking into account various market conditions and dynamics. The reasons for this distribution are as follows:
Genetic diseases (10%): The market for genetic diseases is smaller but highly specialized and growing thanks to advances in genomic research and genome editing technologies. The increasing demand for personalized therapies for rare genetic diseases is contributing to stable growth.
By taking into account market size, growth potential and profitability, we have determined a percentage distribution of focus areas that reflects the attractiveness of each area for investment in the Biotech ETF.
2. selection of companies and their focus areas
Based on the evaluation of the focus areas, we have selected ten biotech companies that cover a broad range of therapeutic areas and hold leading positions in their respective focus areas. The companies and their focus areas as well as the percentage distribution are as follows:

This selection of companies represents a diverse range of focus areas and positions in the biotechnology industry and enables
3. weighting of the ETF based on focus areas and companies
Finally, we determined the allocations for each stock based on its exposure to the focus areas and its relative importance within the portfolio. We considered both the growth and profitability potential of each focus area. The final allocation of stocks is as follows:
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (ticker: REGN): 25%
Moderna, Inc. (Ticker: MRNA): 18%
Intellia Therapeutics (Ticker: NTLA): 16%
Amgen (Ticker: AMGN): 16%
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc (Ticker: ALXN): 10%
Biogen Inc (Ticker: BIIB): 6%
Qiagen N.V. (Ticker: QGEN): 5%
Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Ticker: VRTX): 2%
Illumina, Inc. (Ticker: ILMN): 2%
CRISPR Therapeutics AG (Ticker: CRSP): 2%
This weighting ensures that the portfolio has a good balance between different focus areas as well as an appropriate exposure to the leading companies in the biotechnology industry.
By considering market size, growth potential and profitability, we have determined a percentage distribution of focus areas that reflects the attractiveness of each area for investment in the biotech ETF.
I look forward to receiving feedback and assessments ✌️😉
Your Value Willi
Does anyone here have any idea what was going on back then on November 16 and 17? There was a sell signal at that time, wait for a good increase until I possibly short here. I only find something regarding Alzheimer's:
"Shares of Biogen Inc (BIIB) are down on Wednesday (16.11.2021) after the advisory committee of the European Medicines Agency recommended a 'negative trend vote' for the company's Alzheimer's therapy drug Aducanumab."
Merce you sweet.

Hahn Airport - After the Chinese HNA Group, which owns 82.5% of the airport, filed for insolvency earlier this year, the airport is now insolvent as well. At the time, the airport counted 4 million passengers annually, but after Ryanair diverted more and more flights to other airports, there were only 1.5 million passengers in 2019. After the HNA bankruptcy, however, the airport management was sure that this would not change anything in the operation.
Netflix ($NFC (+0,9 %)) - Quarterly numbers beat expectations:
User growth: 4.4 million instead of the expected 3.84
Earnings per share: $3.19 instead of $2.56
Revenue: $7.46 billion as expected
The reason for this strong growth was, among others, the successful series "Money Heist", "Sex Education" and "Squid Game". The latter was even streamed by 142 million users within 4 weeks of its release, making it the most successful Netflix production to date.
𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 💎
ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF - The first day of trading makes history as the new ETF pulled in nearly $1 billion in trading volume, making it the most successful ETF launch on the New York Stock Exchange.
At the same time, the bitcoin price ($64,608.00) rose to nearly its all-time high ($64,805.00), the BTC/EUR ($BTC-EUR (+0,21 %)) trading pair even managed to surpass the all-time high ($55,148.61)!
After the hype around the potential Alzheimer's drug aducanumab and the subsequent bad news around approval and efficacy, the share price has largely come back. Now there is new positive news for Biogen and their drug for multiple sclerosis, Vumerity.
Biogen seems to be innovating and researching drugs for diseases that a lot of people would benefit from, but a lot of drug companies tend to keep their hands off, probably because of poor chances of success.
