healthcare sector has good momentum. $PINK, $XLV, $IYH, $IXJ
You're right in saying the outperformance of that VHT to IXJ. I was more focused on the international exposure as well to go along with VXUS since you pointed out diversification from a US allocation. There will be overlap between the funds of course, but I wasn't suggesting holding both. IXJ does include the US companies but also this would give you exposure to Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Roche, and more to combine your healthcare tilt with your international allocation. Personally I think a healthcare tilt regardless is a smart choice given that sectors unique defensive position against the broad market like utilities and consumer staples, but has a better chance of outperformance.
IXJ has underperformed VHT for the past 10 years and I find that since there’s ~72-74% overlap, it might be better off to go with VHT instead.
Why not swap VHT for IXJ? IXJ is ishares global healthcare ETF. I mean the top holdings are pretty similar to VHT but at least it's global and will go to supporting your healthcare tilt while also enchancing your international exposure. The only caveat is the expense ratio is .40 but it's such little weighting in your portfolio that the difference is negligible. Seems like a good trade off for increased exposure and possible better risk/reward. Just a thought.
If you were to believe that healthcare as a whole is undervalued and that there are huge tailwinds to Cybersecurity, what would be your favorite ways to play it for the long term? I am unsure about picking individual stocks in either of these sectors. For healthcare , I am leaning towards buying the IXJ etf, suggestions?
As an IXJ holder, I hope so. Still very bullish on the medical industry moving forward.
I have been investing for last 6 months and below is my current portfolio allocation. I am in my 30s and would like to have a long term investment journey for next 10 to 20 years. Please suggest if I need to rebalance my portfolio and also whether I can add IJR to invest in small caps etf. Also, is it too early for me to invest in individual stocks? I have invested around 8000 AUD so far with below allocation. VAS - 22% (Core) VGS - 24% (Core) IVV - 26% (Core) NDQ - 15% (Satellite) IXJ - 8% (Satellite) IEM - 5% (Satellite)
You may want some small cap mid cap funds. More focused emerging markets (including asia + south america) This is what I'm aiming for: || || |Ticker|Country|3y|10y|Incept.|Weighting|Return| |IVV - S&P 500|USA|18.20%|16.09%|6.73%|20%|3.22%| |IEM|India / China Equities|-2.04%|5.37%|7.71%|15%|1.63%| |IOZ - ASX 200 ETF|AU|9.17%|7.77%|8.01%|15%|1.20%| |IEU|Europe|12.28%|7.01%|3.84%|10%|0.90%| |IJH - Core S&P Mid Cap|USA|12.62%|12.73%|8.80%|10%|0.88%| |IXJ - Global Healthcare ETF|USA|14.42%|12.12%|6.51%|10%|1.21%| |IJR - S&P Small-Cap ETF|USA|8.04%|11.84%|8.90%|0%|0.00%| |IOO - iShares Global 100|USA|16.12%|14.49%|5.19%|20%|2.90%| |||||Return|100%|11.94%|
i add to that a travel ETF. i think something like TRVL + IXJ for healthcare
You could also spread your bets by investing in a fund that includes MRNA and their peers. Funds like GNOM, IBB, & XBI are more targeted to biotech, while funds like IXJ, VHT, & FHLC cover the healthcare sector more broadly (in each group the first is global and the other two are domestic). Of course these are just examples; plenty of these funds exist with different benchmarks, strategies, and fees.
>XLV i use IXJ but like your pick so let me add SKYY and one extra bonus PPA
10Y maybe. BTW buy IXJ in the meantime....that were their money will be going

don t dream. it s not a typo. it s not 85.0 buy IXJ to try to benefit from it
Hey guys! I'm hoping I am able to get some help with consolidating some ETF's I own, as I own quite a few and definitely thing I need to only focus on a couple. For context I started investing into ETF's when I was 18, didn't really know what I was doing so put money into quite a few at a time. I currently invest in the ASX. Total currently around 40k. The ETF's I currently own are \- ASIA (1.08%) \- VAS (5.01%) \- VGS (2.47%) \- ETHI (1.61%) \- IOO (15.89%) \- IOZ (14.14%) \- IXJ (5.89%) \- NDQ (30.90%) \- SYI (23.02%) I have put the % of how much each ETF holds. Which ones should I mostly be focussing on? Should I sell the lower % ones and put that money into the others? Any help is truly appreciated! Thanks everyone.
I personally use IXJ for global health care.
I didn’t execute the orders, but STRV, SHOC and IXJ all appear buyable at Schwab.
Calm down, dude. What difference does it make? I was looking at STRV, SHOC, and IXJ. Whatever they are I don't need my brokerage holding my hand treating me like a child.
Flu season is here. Medical ETFs, FHLC and IXJ.
XLV for me. Though about IXJ but the expense ratio is ducked My opinion only
I have FHLC and IXJ myself.
I personally do a lot of funds because I can get more diversified without taking huge losses in a market slow down. With that here is what I have. **$SCHD** \- a long time reddit favorite especially among r/dividends. Good growth good dividends. Lower barrier of entry as shares fluctuate between 70-80 per share. (3.27% yield) **$XLF** \- not the best at returns and has a moderate dividend (1.97%), and is pure financial sector. This is heavily dependent on how banks are doing. I am buying in now while it's low and things are on the slow down with loans and mortgages. This one is kind of a gamble to see what happens. If the world can get it's inflation under control this is something I can see being great in the long term. **$IXJ and $FHLC** \-- 1.27% and 1.33% yield. It's not a power play like others, but the medical field will always have a constant/consistent demand. Again this is me personally, I know there are a lot of other options out there, but I am one of those who don't have a lot left over at the end of the month to invest.
I am looking into $XLF in the next month or 2. With housing market slowing down along with car buying, bank stocks will drop. I'm looking to Q4 to hop into the financials when things stabilize. $INTC (Intel) while they are on the down turn. While I am an AMD fan and use AMD, I can see INTC learning from AMD's game plan and making adjustments. ICLN - not the best green etf, but has potential especially with Europe trying to increase their solar and wind investments. FHLC and IXJ - waiting for winter for people to get sick.
Yes, I only look at the top 10. ICLN is clean energy, XLF is banking, IXJ is healthcare, NOBL for dividends, SCHH for reits/storage/land, CARZ for auto, some of them overlap but then again, I’m not investing in all of them every time, only the beaten up sectors, example if auto industry is down big, It would reflect more on in CARZ but not XLF, so I’d put majority of Cash into CARZ to dollar cost average, then invest a little into the rest of the ETFs.
Allocate 25/25/25/15/10 in the following First 25% on SPY or VOO - S&P Index Fund Second 25% on IXJ - Global Healthcare ETF Third 25% on QQQ - Nasdaq 100 ETF The next 15% on ICLN - Timing of this is important The last 10% on ARKs - you don’t want to miss out if she grows to heights Markets are at all time highs almost 75% of the time. That being said you don’t want to be caught in the 2000s dot com bust. Best solution? Invest on a monthly basis that way you average out. I invest either on the 15th of every month. If the market falls by over a percent, I invest extra that day
IXJ - that gives you slower returns but when it falls doesn't blow out of proportion
I guess all i could say is that the stock market is like climbing steps. I'm order to climb up steps, your foot had to move up, but before climbing the next step, it first has to come back down to solid ground, and only then can it take its next step up... Sure, a couple of shares (AMC as an example) was always going to be a straight coin flip. This is a gamble stock... But NIO / PLTR etc... Are excellent stocks, it just depends at what point you entered into them and what you outlook is. For stocks at such high valuations, buying them at the top and hoping to pull out significant profits in 12-24 months may leave you very disappointed. Not only have these stocks jumped 2 steps before landing, they have jumped 10 steps, and it's now time for them to rest, before attempting to jump another 10. If you buy great businesses at the wrong time, then only time can turn it back into a great opportunity for you. Stop looking at it every day, every week. Its likely to stay flat for a while. Keep building cash for when market corrections are done correcting... And once these stocks find their feet, you have the opportunity to add to them, if you feel that you strongly believe in them, otherwise you can balance your portfolio with some safer plays that you know will give you that 'guaranteed' 7-10% instead. These include options like IVV, IXJ, AFI etc. Then you can keep just regularly, and on a monthly basis increasing your wealth in stocks that you know will deliver, and sit on the side lines with the most aggressive stocks, knowing that you can top them up when an opportunity presents itself
