Any thoughts on investing in the healthcare sector?

Do put a few percentage inside, it is more of a defensive strategy in your portfoilo

If you are new, it might be harder to jump straight into equities. I kind of agree with 1M45 on healthcare ETF.

​

However, if you are really interested in investing into particularly healthcare related, may be can start from things that you could better understand.

​

For example if you are from software industry, you might want to start from pharmaceutical/life science software for example Veeva System

Or if you are more familiar with devices, may be Baxter

Or if you are more into lab/science, you may be interested in WuXi App Tech

Sad to say, for me, I'm not an expert in this, I learn some of this when I stay for a month in the hospital. And is quite a complicated field to understand.

And in the end of day, I find Healthcare REITs might be easier to appreciate like Parkway Life REITs.

​

So in short, find something that easy to pick up, and build up later on.
