These are 4 lucrative healthcare ETFs that can help you make a lot of money

Healthcare is one of the most dynamic industries that is constantly shifting. ETFs offer diversified access to a number of companies benefiting from opportunities in this sector. Let's explore four that offer different focuses and strategies. All with a European domicile!

iShares Healthcare Innovation UCITS ETF $HEAL

Tracks the performance of the S&P Kensho New Economies Composite Index and is registered in Ireland. It focuses on companies that use technological innovation to solve problems in the healthcare industry. The fund was launched in July 2018.

Companies tracked include Illumina, a maker of DNA sequencing tools, Intuitive Surgical, a manufacturer of robotic surgical systems, Edwards Lifesciences, with a focus on cardiac technology, and Teladoc, a virtual healthcare provider.

The fund's performance in recent years has been a bit wild. Volatility over the past 5 years is around 30%, which is consistent with the high volatility of companies in the healthcare and technology sectors.

Lyxor MSCI Disruptive Technology ESG Filtered UCITS ETF $GDNA

Fund registered in France. It tracks the performance of the MSCI World Disruptive Technology 20% Issuer Capped Index, which includes companies across the globe that participate in disruptive technology. It focuses on companies providing solutions in areas such as genomics, robotics, energy, 3D printing, materials, bioengineering and others.

The fund aims to provide investors with exposure to companies working in disruptive technology areas. This is a dynamic sector that can offer exciting return potential, but also high price volatility.

The fund applies ESG filters to exclude companies that violate this policy. Currently, the fund has 169 active bonds from the healthcare and technology sectors around the world.

ESG stands for environmental, social and governance factors. These are sustainability criteria that investors can use to find companies that are responsible to the environment, their employees and the public.

-Environment:
Carbon reduction, sustainable practices, use of renewable energy, etc.

-Social:
Diversity & inclusion, fair wages and benefits, safe working conditions, employee training, etc.

-Governance:
Transparency, accountability, ethics, long-term growth.

With the ESG filter mentioned above, Lyxor ETF only includes in its portfolio companies that meet their criteria for a sustainable business model based on these environmental, social and governance factors.

In the past, the fund has delivered great results, for example, returning over 57% in 2019. On the other hand, high volatility must be taken into account, with the fund losing about 12% of its value in 2020.
