Tema Launches Healthcare AI ETF (HLTH)
HLTH is the first pure-play ETF focused on AI’s transformation of healthcare.
Tema ETFs (“Tema”), a leader in institutional-quality and actively managed exchange-traded funds, today announced the launch of the Tema Healthcare AI ETF (HLTH).
HLTH was developed to invest in one of AI’s largest and most consequential applications: improving healthcare. U.S. healthcare spending is forecast to approach $9 trillion by 2034, representing more than 20% of GDP.1 Yet healthcare accounted for just 8.9% of the S&P 500 as of June 30,2 leaving AI’s potential to elevate the sector underappreciated by the market.
That potential is rapidly moving from research to implementation. DeepMind’s AlphaFold, an AI model that predicts protein structures, won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and is already used by more than 2 million researchers,3 demonstrating how quickly a scientific breakthrough can become a widely adopted research tool. Anthropic has said AI could compress a century of biological progress into a decade, while healthcare and biopharma together represent the third-largest category of global private AI investment.
