5 Top Healthcare ETFs
Healthcare is huge. In 2017, healthcare spending in the U.S. totaled $3.5 trillion -- nearly 18% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), which is the total market value of all products and services produced. Worldwide healthcare spending topped $7.7 billion. By 2022, global healthcare spending will reach at least $10 trillion, according to professional services firm Deloitte.
Where there's a lot of money being spent, there are opportunities for investors. While one option is to buy individual healthcare stocks, many investors might prefer going with healthcare-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which let you buy a basket of stocks with one transaction. But you don't want to buy just any healthcare ETF. Here's what you need to know about the top healthcare ETFs and why investing in them is something you should consider.
