5 Theme-Oriented ETFs You Should Stay Away From
You can find an ETF for just about any stock category you could think of : natural resources, clean energy, drones, marijuana, healthcare.
You name it.
While investing in a theme can be rewarding (see our post about 5 Emerging Markets ETFs you should Buy Now), other themes are clearly not optimized for your portfolio’s performance or gains. It’s probably not a good idea to think your social agenda is a good investment plan.
Try to be careful on theme-oriented ETFs. Don’t confuse good intentions like wanting clean water with investing.

IHI and the medical devices theme by itself doesn’t sound bad.
