Description

VHT is a passively managed exchange‑traded fund that seeks to track the MSCI US Investable Market Health Care 25/50 Index, providing exposure to U.S. companies operating in the health‑care sector, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, health‑care services and equipment providers across large, mid and small caps. The fund employs a full‑replication (or sampling when necessary) indexing approach to hold the constituent stocks in proportion to their index weights, keeping the portfolio fully invested in equities. It is suited for investors who want broad, diversified exposure to the U.S. health‑care industry as a sector allocation, a long‑term growth component, or a complement to broader portfolio diversification.
