Our read on GDOC

ETF.net Research

In short

DGoldman's stock-pickers hunting the next wave of health care: genomics, precision medicine, tech-enabled procedures, digital care. About 40 names, chosen globally, versus the index giants that just own the whole sector.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in health care companies advancing new treatments and technologies, including genomics, precision medicine, technology-enabled procedures, and digital healthcare.

Why people hold it

  • Actively run around a theme, not a sector index: companies advancing new treatments and technologies across genomics, precision medicine, procedures and digital health.
  • Roughly 40 holdings with a global mandate, so individual picks carry real weight and the manager can shop outside the US.
  • Plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper from a major issuer, trading since 2021. No leverage, no derivatives gymnastics, no K-1.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.75% a year, it costs more than the cohort's 0.50% median and roughly eight times index staples like VHT (0.09%) and XLV (0.08%).
  • A small fund that trades lightly, so spreads can run wider than the sector's household-name ETFs.
  • Concentrated innovation focus means the ride can look nothing like broad health care, and payouts come annually or semiannually. Growth is the stated mission, not income.
