About XLV
XLV (Health Care Select Sector SPDR) is a health care sector ETF from State Street SPDR. It is not leveraged: it aims to follow its benchmark one-for-one. Its expense ratio is 0.08% a year, according to both the issuer and Yahoo Finance's fund profile.
What it tracks
The Health Care Select Sector Index holds the health-care companies in the S&P 500: drug makers, medical-device makers, health insurers and health-care services.
What to keep in mind
Health care is often seen as a more defensive sector, but it carries its own risks, including drug-pricing policy, patent expiries and clinical trial results.
What a sector ETF does
A sector ETF holds companies from a single part of the economy. That makes it a way to follow one industry, such as technology, energy or banks, but it also means less diversification than a broad index fund: when the sector's own drivers turn, such as oil prices, interest rates, regulation or demand cycles, the whole fund feels it. A few very large companies can carry a big share of a sector index.
