Healthcare Leaders Income ETFHHL.TOBUYMay 03, 2021Stock price when the opinion was issued
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.
For income in retirement account. Would prefer ZWU to HHL. If markets correct over the next few quarters, there will be more correction in HHL. Likes both and are both buys in pull backs.
