LGHTFLangar Global HealthTech ETF

XHSAState Street SPDR S&P Health Care Services ETF

In short

LGHT A concentrated bet on the machines and software behind modern medicine: actively managed, global in reach, and pointed at healthcare technology rather than the pharma-heavy sector index everyone else owns.

XHS Most health care ETFs are pharma funds in disguise. XHS buys the delivery system instead: insurers, hospitals, distributors and clinics, roughly equal weighted so one giant insurer does not run the show.

Stated mandate

LGHT The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. It is actively managed and invests at least 80% of assets in exchange-listed healthcare-technology equities and ADRs, principally in the United States and certain developed countries.

XHS The fund seeks to track the total return of the S&P Health Care Services Select Industry Index before fees and expenses, providing targeted exposure to health care services companies.

Why people hold it

  • LGHT Narrow by design: at least 80% of assets sit in exchange-listed healthcare-technology stocks and ADRs, not the whole drugmakers-and-insurers sector.
  • Casts wider than the typical health-care sector fund: US plus developed international names, reachable directly or through ADRs.
  • Actively managed toward long-term growth of capital, so the manager can rotate holdings as the field shifts instead of waiting on an index reconstitution.
  • XHS No drugmakers, no device makers. The index tracks four slices of care delivery: distributors, facilities, health care services and managed care.ssga.com
  • Modified equal weighting spreads about 60 names across large, mid and small caps, so the portfolio is not a bet on two or three mega caps.ssga.com
  • 0.35% a year sits below the 0.50% median for broad health care ETFs, on a fund that has been running since 2011.
  • Ranks in the top quartile of the broad health care ETFs we grade.

Worth knowing

  • LGHT Charges 0.85% a year, a multiple of what the broad health-care index heavyweights in its peer group (VHT, XLV, FHLC) charge.
  • Small and thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads and order size carry more weight here than in a mega-fund.
  • A 2024 launch built for capital growth, not income: short operating history and no record of regular distributions.
  • XHS Cheap against the median, not against the giants: XLV, VHT and FHLC charge under a tenth of a percent for cap weighted whole sector exposure.
  • Thinly traded next to the big sector funds, so spreads and limit orders matter more here.
  • Leaving out pharma and biotech means it moves differently from a whole sector fund, and insurers and hospitals sit close to reimbursement policy.ssga.com
