PINK vs. XLV: How Do These Two Health Care ETFs Match Up?
PINK outperformed XLV by 8.7 percentage points over one year, but carries higher fees and volatility. XLV offers lower costs and a higher dividend yield for passive healthcare exposure.
Overview
Investors choosing between Simplify Health Care ETF (NYSEMKT:PINK) and State Street Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEMKT:XLV) may weigh the SPDR fund's significantly lower costs against the Simplify fund's active management and charitable mission.
Both funds provide targeted exposure to the healthcare sector, yet they operate with fundamentally distinct philosophies. One offers a low-cost, passive entry into the largest blue chip companies in the S&P 500 healthcare index, while the other employs active management and a unique charitable mandate to pursue capital appreciation through innovation.
Details
Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from monthly returns over the available fund history (up to five years). The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. Dividend yield is the trailing-12-month distribution yield.
