Q: Hello,

My portfolio is currently underweight in healthcare and I am looking to add either ZUH or XHC. My goal is long-term growth rather than income, so I think either of these would be a better fit than HHL or LIFE. Looking through past questions, it seems that your preference has been for XHC due to its greater diversification, global exposure, and better valuations of its underlying holdings.

I was wondering if you would still prefer XHC over ZUH? Or has the current pullback done anything to alter your view on these ETFs?

Thank you for thoughts and for the excellent service.

Q: I own XHC in a registered account. No heathcare in my non-registered account, looking to pick up 2-4% position. GUD and WELL have lots of info in the reports, similar comments on cash and acqisition strategy but the charts are very different. What one would you prefer for 4% or 2% each? Any others that I should consider / review?
Thanks,
Travis
