Q: I have very little healthcare in my portfolio and also need to diversify geographically. There are so many opinions on what types of healthcare to invest in (drugs, medical devices (knees, hips), insurance, pharmacies, etc.) that I am struggling to jump in. What would be your top three healthcare related choices (outside Canada) to invest in for the long term.

Thank you for the great service you provide

Q: Looking for big pharma ETF`s when the pandemic is over to invest, which would be most tax efficient in a non registered account. I guess this limits them to the USA.

Q: I propose a 8-9% allocation to this sector. I would sell GUD [gain] and small position in CPH [loss]; hold TD Health Sciences at 15% [good long-term performance and good cross-section of sector] and add to ISRG initial position. That would enable me to add approx. 15% to each of IHI ETF {little overlap with TD Fund], ZTS, IDXX, ILMN, and LHCG.
This is a difficult sector to pick stocks. What would you advise re allocation and selection?
