The Vanguard Health Care Index Fund ETF (VHT) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to mirror the performance of a benchmark index composed of U.S. companies of all market capitalizations operating in the health care sector. Stocks are classified as health care under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), the industry taxonomy jointly maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices and MSCI. The fund uses a full replication strategy, holding each constituent stock in approximately the same weight as in the underlying index. Despite the broad health care universe, the fund is classified as non-diversified.
The GICS health care sector encompasses subsectors such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, health care equipment and supplies, and health care providers and services. As an ETF listed on the NYSE, VHT trades throughout the day at market prices and was launched in January 2004.
