By investing in these equities, investors gain exposure to the life-sciences sector, where returns depend heavily on factors such as clinical-trial outcomes, regulatory approvals and patent protections. Because drug development involves high costs, long timelines and regulatory scrutiny, pharmaceutical stocks can be both volatile and potentially lucrative over the long term.
