Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTAEvolve Global Healthcare Enhanced Yield FundLIFE.TOCOMMENTSep 14, 2020

These are some of the best ETFs for playing healthcare depending on what strategy you like. These cover global, covered call, yield focused, or actively managed ETFs in the market. The sector is a little overvalued right now so you might want to wait for a pullback. Longterm outlook is favourable.

E.T.F.'s
It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

HOLD

Good exposure to healthcare.
60 basis point management fee.
Enhanced yield fund (~8.7%).
Be careful on management fees when calculating total yield. 

DON'T BUY
It's a big-yield covered call ETF. Careful chasing high-yield ETFs, because this depends on how the underlying holdings are doing. In this case, it's healthcare, which is doing well during Covid. As a rule, he avoids covered call ETFs; the total return is actually low. In a rising market, you give up a lot of upside in cc-ETFs.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.  An equal weight global healthcare ETF. A good choice for an ETF that covers the sector. It offers good yield with high quality companies. Potential investors should keep in mind the US elections in November, as the healthcare sector may see increased volatility in the short term.

BUY
Hedged versus unhedged version. When deciding, you have to look at where the currency is going. There is a small hedging cost but it is low. He likes the ETFs in general.
BUY

LIFE vs. HHL In Canada, we have two similar ETFs holding global healthcare, this and HHL-T. Each holds around 20 megacap stocks, equally weighted. He prefers LIFE because the names it holds are more diverse, but owning either or both is fine. Both feature a covered call a third of their portfolios, which is good, because you want two-thirds to really capture the upside potential in this thriving sector. Who knows which set of stocks within these ETFs will hit? You could own both. Plus, you get a little income.

BUY
He likes the covered call type strategies. We have mostly cannabis in healthcare in Canada so you need exposure globally to healthcare.
WEAK BUY
It is a healthcare play with a covered call overlay. He likes it as a more defensive way to play healthcare. It may depend on the US election this fall.
