Harbor Capital Celebrates 3-Year Anniversary of Harbor Health Care ETF (MEDI)

A Compelling Active Strategy for a Health Care Allocation

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (“Harbor”), a premier provider of investment solutions, is proud to celebrate the 3-year anniversary of the Harbor Health Care ETF (MEDI), an actively managed sector ETF subadvised by Westfield Capital Management Company, L.P. Since its inception in November 2022, MEDI has delivered strong performance and demonstrated its value as a differentiated health care allocation tool for advisors and institutions.

Built on Westfield’s deep expertise in Health Care investing MEDI offers a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio of 30–50 companies across the Health Care spectrum from biotechnology and life sciences to providers and pharmaceuticals. The ETF seeks long-term capital growth by investing in quality businesses with innovative products and services, guided by disciplined valuation criteria.

“MEDI is a distinct solution for advisors seeking active exposure to the Health Care sector,” said Kristof Gleich, President and Chief Investment Officer of Harbor Capital. “We launched this ETF with a clear purpose: to harness Westfield’s deep sector knowledge while seeking to deliver alpha through thoughtful, bottom-up stock selection. Three years in, MEDI continues to exceed expectations, and we believe it remains a powerful tool for clients navigating a rapidly evolving Health Care landscape.”

Westfield’s portfolio managers, William Muggia and Matthew Renna, bring nearly five decades of combined experience and a long-standing commitment to Health Care investing. Their approach emphasizes post-proof-of-concept companies with multiple assets in development, aiming to mitigate risk while capturing upside in innovative sub-sectors like biotech, targeted oncology, gene therapy, and orphan diseases.

As the Health Care sector continues to benefit from structural tailwinds including aging populations and scientific breakthroughs—Harbor encourages advisors to consider MEDI when allocating for clients seeking growth potential, innovation, and active management in their portfolios.

All investments involve risk including the possible loss of principal.

Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.

Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (NAV). Market price returns are based upon the closing composite market price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved. Stock markets are volatile and equity values can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic conditions. Since the Fund may hold foreign securities, it may be subject to greater risks than funds invested only in the U.S. These risks are more severe for securities of issuers in emerging market regions. Foreign currencies can decline in value and can adversely affect the dollar value of the fund. Since the Fund typically invests in a limited number of companies, an adverse event affecting a particular company may hurt the Fund's performance more than if it had invested in a larger number of companies.

Health Care Industry Risk: Because the Fund seeks to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the health care industry, the value of its shares will depend on the general condition of the that industry. The health care industry may be affected by any number of factors, including, but not limited to, lapsing patent protection, industry innovation, extensive government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, research and development costs, limited product lines, product liability litigation, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, and competitive forces. Authorized Participant Concentration/Trading Risk: Only authorized participants ("APs") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund is classified as non‑diversified, a non‑diversified Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single issuer, and/or invest in a relatively small number of issuers, it is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio. Small and Mid Cap Risk: The Fund's performance may be more volatile because it may invest in issuers that are smaller companies.
