As of Jun 19, 2026. Market Open.
It was strictly a yield play when interest rates were so low. He has only a small position. Growth in the ETF can be somewhat restrained by the covered call structure. It's a tradeoff between yield and growth. He's still bullish on the healthcare sector, the demographics are beautiful.
Invests in healthcare issuers, a space he likes. Healthcare offers growth and defence and does well in late cycles and recessions. Pays enhanced dividends, too, with options totalling 8.7% dividends. The MER is around 1%, which is a little high. Covered calls do well in flat or down markets. Covered calls are also very tax efficient.
(A Top Pick March 6/15. Down 11.55%.) Holds the biggest health care providers globally. Sold his holdings in December before the fall in the markets.
