XLV Vs. VHT: I Prefer XLV For Its Better Downturn Resilience

  • The Healthcare Sector, represented by XLV and VHT ETFs, offers a defensive investment option amid current market volatility and potential recession risks. Between these two funds, I prefer XLV even better. XLV has shown better performance in past market downturns - compared to both VHT and SP500 - with smaller worst-year losses and also worse drawdowns.
