COMMENT
Healthcare has been one of the spaces that has had very good earnings growth in the S&P and probably global as well. A very stable space. Probably a little bit of a stretch in terms of valuation. He tends to like some of the biotech names. Feels healthcare will continue to run because of the need to own something more secure and put into things that have a nice dividend. Very little volatility.
E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK
Healthcare has both defensive characteristics + growth attributes. Includes medical devices, pharma, medicare, biotechnology. Usually strong balance sheets with lots of cash, paving the way for higher dividends, share buybacks, and M&A activity. Aging population and growing middle class enhance prospects for healthcare. 70% is in US names. JNJ, PFE, Roche Holdings, ABT, UNH. Yield is about 1.1%.
