iShares S&P Global Healthcare (XHC) is regarded as one of the premier healthcare ETFs, particularly for investors looking into the healthcare sector outside of Canada. Experts suggest that for diversification, investors may want to consider US-based options such as IXJ alongside XHC. The ETF provides expansive coverage of large-cap healthcare companies across multiple segments including pharmaceuticals, healthcare products, and services, boasting well-known names like UnitedHealth Group (UNH). While it offers defensive and growth characteristics, the healthcare sector is still vulnerable to volatility from governmental actions, especially in the US, which may create fluctuations in performance. Investing in XHC, combined with strategies such as pairing it with HHL for income, may yield balanced exposure in a demographic environment favorable to healthcare, despite recent underperformance in the sector.
Thinly traded but the market maker has a lot up there in Bid & Ask so liquidity is really not an issue when it comes to ETF’s. Have been some pretty good movement in the global health care stocks. This one has been attractive and people have been pumping money into them on market downturns based on commodity prices being pounded. He is not big on healthcare right now and you’ve had a pretty good move on this one and feels there are other areas with more value.

Health Care Sector. Likes it in general, long term. It will have volatility. If we get a correction, wait for it to come to $25. A nice stable place to get a yield from.
