Invesco Pharmaceuticals ETF or First Trust Biotech Fund: Which Drug Maker-Focused Fund Should You Buy in 2026?

The article compares two healthcare-focused ETFs: Invesco Pharmaceuticals ETF (PJP) and First Trust NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index Fund (FBT). PJP focuses on established pharmaceutical companies with lower volatility and dividend income, while FBT targets high-growth biotech stocks with greater exposure to small and mid-cap companies. Despite FBT's stronger 10-year performance, PJP is recommended as the better buy due to its superior 5-year returns, lower volatility, dividend yield, and more stable risk profile.
