What is the VanEck Global Healthcare Leaders ETF (HLTH)?

Invest in good health.

With HLTH, you can access a portfolio of global healthcare leaders comprising the most fundamentally strong companies. 

HLTH ETF invests in 50 fundamentally sound and attractively valued companies with the best growth prospects in the healthcare sector.

Long-term drivers of the healthcare sector include global population growth and ageing demographics, the prevalence of chronic diseases will continue to drive up the demand for healthcare, and emerging economies needing massive levels of healthcare expenditures to close the gap with their developed market counterparts.

  • Healthcare companies have historically outperformed when manufacturing activity (proxy for economic activity) slows.

  • With global GDP projected to grow to US$137 trillion by 2030, and Healthcare expenditures projected to remain at 10% of GDP, this translates into US$14 trillion in Healthcare spending per year by the end of this decade.

Does HLTH pay dividends?

Yes, the HLTH ETF pays dividends once a year.
