It charges investors 35 basis points a year in fees (see: all the Healthcare ETFs here).

Why the Move?

The biotech corner of the broad healthcare sector has been an area to watch lately given the astounding performance this quarter. The flurry of positive news flow, including trial results and deal activities, and better-than-expected corporate earnings have fueled the rally in the sector. Additionally, uncertainty over trade deal added to the strength given that the sector is non-cyclical in nature, which provides a defensive tilt to the portfolio.

More Gains Ahead?

Currently, BBH has a Zacks ETF Rank #2 (Buy) with a Medium risk outlook, suggesting continued outperformance in the months ahead. Further, many of the segments that make up this ETF have a strong Zacks Industry Rank. So, there is definitely some promise for those who want to ride this surging ETF a little further.
