In ETFs: RMD is 0.1% of VIG, 0.1% of SCHG, and under 0.1% of DGRO, the most of the 24 funds Breakaway covers, by each fund's latest filing, Jul 31 to Aug 31, 2026.
ResMed makes continuous positive airway pressure devices and the masks used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep. Devices make up about half of revenue, masks and accessories close to 40%, and residential care software the remainder. Growth depends on diagnosing more of the large untreated sleep apnea population and moving them onto therapy. The Americas contribute about two-thirds of device and mask revenue, with most of the rest from Europe, Japan, and Australia.
