Hi Dan, I read a few years back that you were not a fan of this ETF due to cost and performance. Last year, you responded that you actually liked this fund. I’m confused; what has changed in your opinion? Thanks

If you chart it on a day or weekly chart it pretty much has ranged for the last 8 years up and down from $7.00 to $9.00. Might be at a discount now, but suspect it will hit resistance at $9.00 and then back down.

Hey there. I would have to see the context in which I didn't like it. Nothing is absolute. In particular instances, these funds do serve a purpose. Primarily for those who are looking for income. For those with a longer time horizon, it may not be the best option.

If you could track down the commentary where I mention I didn't like it, I could probably try to dig into the context as to why I said I didn't like it.

High management fees with HHL. HHL is comprised of some mega sized pharma companies. This won't be a high flying healthcare ETF, and if you're looking to capitalize on say a COVID-19 vaccine for huge growth (just speculating here as to your reason for purchasing) this may not be it (only 4.8% returns over the last 3 years). This ETF has underperformed the S&P 500 significantly over the last 5 years.

Yeah, so it looks like the original question may have been in context of someone trying to buy it for gains from the vaccine. I don't mind the ETF for exposure to the healthcare sector. It just seems like the person was looking for large growth in regards of the vaccine.
