How Healthcare ETFs Work?

Healthcare ETFs pool in investors' money and invest it in a select basket of stocks of companies operating in the healthcare sector. The large umbrella of healthcare companies include pharmaceuticals, medical devices, drug research, hospitals, care giving facilities and related functions. A few ETFs may follow a particular healthcare specific market index, while other ETFs may pick and choose their own list of healthcare stocks based on their own research. This article lists the major ETFs which operate in the healthcare space. Investing through such ETFs allows one to avoid the stock-specific risk and take a low-cost approach to investing on a combined basket of healthcare stocks. However, the risk mitigation also comes with the drawback of getting average returns which is based on the average performance of the whole basket of stock that the healthcare ETF may invest in.
