The healthcare sector includes a broad range of products and services related to medical treatment, and has historically outperformed the market. Here we’ll look at the best healthcare ETFs.

// 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%.

Blockchain technology is being used to address numerous issues in the healthcare industry. Because blockchain technology can be applied to virtually any industry, it is no surprise that it has found its place in the healthcare industry.
The use of blockchain technology in healthcare has been around for a while now, but the technology is still considered to be in its infancy. This means that there are still many ways that blockchain can be used to improve upon existing processes, while also providing new opportunities for innovation.
Blockchain technology can be used to store medical records securely, ensure patient privacy and confidentiality, streamline payment processes, prevent fraud and corruption, reduce costs associated with insurance claims processing and administration, increase efficiency by eliminating paperwork errors or lost documents during patient transfers between facilities or hospitals/clinics across state lines or countries without requiring human intervention to verify identity before allowing access into secured areas such as operating rooms, etc…
Healthcare is a well-known industry for its slow adoption of new technology. However, blockchain technology is one of the few emerging technologies that has the potential to change the healthcare industry by bringing transparency and trust to all parties involved—from patients and providers to payers and manufacturers.
What is Blockchain Technology?
Blockchain technology is a way of storing and sharing data in an immutable, secure ledger that cannot be altered or tampered with. It’s often used in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, but it can also be applied to other industries like healthcare.
How Does Blockchain Technology Work in Healthcare?
Blockchain technology has many applications in healthcare, including:
Medical records storage: The blockchain ledger could store medical records securely so they’re accessible by doctors and patients without any risk of being altered or hacked;
Medical research: Researchers could use blockchain technology to store and share information on clinical trials with their peers so they can work together more effectively on clinical studies;
Drug supply chain management: Drug makers could use blockchain technology to track drugs from their origin through each step of production and distribution, ensuring that counterfeit or tainted products don’t make it into the supply chain.
Blockchain technology is an emerging technology that has the potential to disrupt the healthcare industry. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows information to be stored in a secure and transparent format. Blockchain technology has been used in finance, but it is now being applied to other industries, including healthcare.
The benefits of blockchain for healthcare include:
• Enhanced security: Since data is stored on multiple computers instead of one centralized server, it is less vulnerable to hacking and fraud.
• Better data management: Patients can share their information with different doctors without having to repeat themselves or fill out a new form every time they see someone new. Also, since the data is stored in public blocks on the blockchain, patient records can be easily accessed by medical staff across institutions.
• Increased transparency: Patients can track exactly what happens with their information from start to finish, which reduces errors and improves trust between doctor and patient.

Why is health care so expensive? Once again, there are a lot of factors in play. Jacob and Adriene look at the many reasons that health care in the US is so expensive, and what exactly we get for all that money. Spoiler alert: countries that spend less and get better results are not that uncommon.

As the health crisis leaves travel stalled, stores shut down, and businesses ailing, debt is mounting rapidly, with rising concern that borrowers will be left without the funds to follow up on loans and other owed payments.
In a recent report, Goldman Sachs said that economy-wide credit losses were likely, which will in turn lead to the devastation of creditors who depend on those payments, and an ultimate slide into financial insecurity across the banking sector.
This video will show you the next stage of the economic collapse that we are plunging towards. We’re going to discuss the meaning of the default cycle, the facts and figures behind how we’ve gotten to this point, and expert predictions of what will happen next.
In a healthy economic climate, when lenders are able to minimize risk and maximize profit, they become more willing to extend loans. When there is high access to credit, investments in real estate and businesses increase in value, and the risk of borrowing drops. As a result, corporate borrowers are able to repay what they owe without an issue. The benefits extend to an individual level as well, with people more willing to take out loans–money that they will then spend or invest–because funds are cheaper and their incomes are either stable or increasing.
Now however, with thousands of companies–including major names like JCPenney, J. Crew, and Hertz–declaring bankruptcy, and a steep spike in delinquencies, there is strong evidence that a default cycle is on its way. In fact, it has likely already begun.
Finance-driven capitalism has become more and more popular in recent years, and companies like American Airlines, Hertz, and Staples have all borrowed heavily to finance acquisitions and stock buybacks, among other things. According to figures from the Federal Reserve Board, the total debt of non-financial corporations rose from .1 trillion to .1 trillion within the last ten years.
Since 2011, nonfinancial corporate debt has jumped by over 60 percent. As a share of GDP, it recently hit record highs. Such elevated numbers for corporate debt inevitably signal a following wave of corporate defaults. To make matters worse, because revenue streams have dried up as a result of lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, companies are left scrambling to deal with negative cash flow. Oftentimes, this forces them into bankruptcy declarations that will, at best, force widespread restructuring, and, at worst, close their doors for good.
Goldman Sachs cautioned that this downturn will not mimic all aspects of the financial collapse of 2008. Whereas that event largely affected the real estate market, the pandemic has not showed such discrimination. Industries across the board have been devastated by consumers’ inability and unwillingness to spend, as well as the significant added health risks in day-to-day operations. Furthermore, the pandemic has affected some parts of the United States more than others, leading to discrepancies in how companies and industries are able to operate from one state to the next.
Still, some suffer more than others. Virus-exposed property types such as lodging and retail report significantly higher delinquency rates than less exposed property types such as self-storage, which can largely maintain normal operations.
In an analysis of which industries are most impacted by credit losses due to the ongoing health crisis, Goldman Sachs found that the energy sector is suffering the brunt of it, followed closely by travel and leisure, industrial goods and services, autos, real estate, and retail.
Sheer size and its preexisting tendency towards default risks puts the energy sector in a particularly difficult position. Its collapse is being fueled by the sharp contraction in oil demand, its disproportionately large footprint in the corporate bond market relative to its GDP share, and the significant amounts of leverage in the sector.
Experts at Goldman Sachs estimate that the 12-month trailing high-yield default rate will continue to climb until it reaches about 13 percent by the end of the year, near to the peak rate reached during the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
