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.
An aging population is good for this sector, but this sector is under scrutiny, too. Trump is getting tough on drug prices. That said, healthcare is a good place to be. He wouldn't add to an existing position. Hold no more than 5% in a sector.
