VHT offers broad, low-cost healthcare exposure with a market-cap weighted approach, favoring large caps but including some small innovators. The ETF is best suited as a core, defensive allocation, benefiting from healthcare's inelastic demand and resilience in downturns. Recent underperformance is due to post-COVID contraction and tech-led rallies, but VHT remains well-positioned for defensive rotation.
