// PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:
The healthcare sector broadly covers pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, health insurers medical devices, surgery centers, and more. The sector has historically outperformed the broader market with lower volatility, and tends to be more resilient during market downturns, even though the performance of health care stocks is dependent upon a complex range of economic and demographic factors. Trends affecting the health care sector include an aging population, prevalence of chronic disease, technology and innovation, insurance coverage, personalized medicine, and more. Major players include Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Medtronic, Amgen, etc.
The financial success – and subsequent stock behavior – of many of these companies hinges heavily on clinical trial outcomes, patents, and FDA approvals. Like consumer staples, the health care sector is considered non-cyclical, and thus can be a smart defensive equities play. Here are the best healthcare ETFs to get exposure to these stocks.
XLV – Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund
VHT – Vanguard Health Care ETF
FHLC – Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF
IXJ – iShares Global Healthcare ETF
RYH – Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF
Unlike the previous funds, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF, as the name suggests, is equally-weighted, meaning each stock in the fund gets roughly equal representation. Equal weighting may be an attractive, desirable feature in this context, as it reduces single company risk in a sector of highly volatile stocks. It also spreads risk more evenly among different sub-industries like pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, facilities, and more. Because of its equal weighting, RYH also heavily tilts mid-cap. This ETF seeks to track the S&P Equal Weight Health Care Index and has an expense ratio of 0.40%.
