The ATRAM Global Health Care Feeder Fund lets you invest in the world's leading pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies, using Philippine pesos. Here's what it holds, who it suits, and how to invest through DragonFi.
What is the ATRAM Global Health Care Feeder Fund?
It's an equity UITF structured as a feeder fund, which means it channels almost all of your money into a single larger fund focused on health care companies worldwide. It is managed by ATRAM.
What does it invest in?
Through its target fund, it invests in equity securities of companies throughout the world involved in the design, manufacture, or sale of products and services used in health care, medicine, or biotechnology. In practice that spans pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, biotech, health care providers, and the tools used in drug research. Its performance is measured against the MSCI ACWI Health Care Index.
What's the target fund?
At least 90% of the fund's assets are invested in the Fidelity Funds, Global Healthcare Fund, managed by Fidelity. As of mid-2026, its largest holdings included well-known health care names such as Roche, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, AbbVie, Novartis, Stryker, and Gilead Sciences, with the biggest country exposure in the United States and Switzerland. For the current, full breakdown, see the fund's page in the DragonFi app.
Who is this fund for?
This fund may suit you if you:
- Believe in the long-term growth of health care, driven by ageing populations and medical innovation
- Want focused exposure to an essential, defensive sector
- Are comfortable with the ups and downs of the stock market
- Are investing for the medium to long term
What's the risk level?
This is an aggressive-risk fund, the highest of the three risk bands. Health care is often considered more defensive than other sectors, but as a single-sector stock fund its value can still swing significantly, and because the underlying investments are in foreign currencies, exchange rate movements also affect your returns. Returns are not guaranteed.
Can I hold this in a PERA or Regular account?
This fund is available through a Regular DragonFi account. It is not one of DragonFi's PERA-eligible funds.
What are the fees?
Like all UITFs, this fund charges a 1.2% per annum trust fee, already deducted from the fund before the daily price is calculated, so you don't pay it separately. Because it's a feeder fund, you also indirectly shoulder the small expenses of the underlying target fund. Fees can change over time, so for the exact current trust fee, check this fund's page in the DragonFi app.
What's the minimum investment?
You can start investing in this fund for as low as ₱1,000 on DragonFi, and you can add to it any time.
How do I invest in or add to this fund?
You can invest in or top up this fund directly in the DragonFi app in a few taps. You can also set up Auto Invest to invest a fixed amount on a regular schedule. For the full steps, the daily cut-off time, and how your buy-in price (NAVPU) is set, see the "How to invest in a fund" article by DragonFi. One thing to know about feeder funds: because the target fund is based overseas, your order may be priced with a slight delay compared with local funds.
How do I sell or redeem it?
You can redeem some or all of your investment in the app whenever you like, with no fixed lock-in period. Because this is a feeder fund, proceeds usually take a little longer to arrive than they would for a local fund, since the money comes from the overseas target fund. Proceeds are credited within 7 to 8 business days. For details, see the "How to sell or redeem a fund" article by DragonFi.
Where do I see the current NAVPU and returns?
The live price (NAVPU) and the latest returns are always shown on this fund's page in the DragonFi app. We don't list those figures here because they change every day, so the app is your most up-to-date source.
Good to know
- A long-term demographic story. The world's population aged 65 and over is expected to roughly double over the coming decades, and that steady demand for medicines and care is the core reason investors hold this fund.
- Defensive, but it can lag. People need health care in good times and bad, which can steady the ride, but the sector may underperform when the broader market is rallying hard.
-
Currency moves matter. The fund is in pesos while the target fund is in US dollars, and this exposure is not hedged, so exchange rates affect your returns.
