COMMENT
These are some of the best ETFs for playing healthcare depending on what strategy you like. These cover global, covered call, yield focused, or actively managed ETFs in the market. The sector is a little overvalued right now so you might want to wait for a pullback. Longterm outlook is favourable.

BUY
Looking for a healthcare ETF, diversified by company and sector.
Tracks the S&P 1200 Global Health Care Sector Index. Large and diversified pharma, biotech, medical devices, health services. Giant scope. Names such as JNJ, UNH, PFE. Healthcare is often defensive, tailwind of aging population.
This sector's been a laggard, some of the names have really been hurt, so maybe there's a catchup trade. When we're in an environment of high beta and high growth, money rotates out of the defensive sectors.

An interesting way to play the sector. You're not chasing performance, and you're doing it in a balanced way. Good sector for this strategy, as it's not as economically sensitive as others.
Have some that's written and some that's not, so you don't give up all the upside. Healthcare hasn't participated in the market rally, but things should normalize with clarity in the US. Demographic trend is pretty good.
