Launched on 01/26/2004, the Vanguard Health Care ETF (VHT) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Healthcare - Broad segment of the equity market.
Healthcare stock valuations are struggling to rise due to political risk and scandals, but this could create attractive entry points for long-term investors. And the reason lies in the bearish narrative surrounding two of the sector's leaders: UNH and LLY. Among healthcare ETFs, VHT stands out in my view as the most representative of the sector, in terms of performance, risk, and costs.
