2014年7月2日 · VGHCX is an actively managed fund, which frequently sells stocks for capital gains; it will probably lose an extra 1% per year to taxes. Thus, if you are going to hold a health-care fund in a taxable account, you should prefer the ETF; if you want VGHCX, hold it in your IRA.

2020年12月2日 · You can trade money directly from VGHAX or VGHCX into it, or from any other fund you hold in your account you want to hold the new Health ETF (VHT) or Admiral Share Mutual Fund (VHCIX) in. What is confusing about Health Index funds in Vanguard, is the Investor Share fund is an ETF and the Admiral Share fund is a regular Mutual Fund.

2020年1月5日 · I sold it recently and brought more shares of VGT (Tech) the Healthcare VGHCX VHCIX passive index version you are inquiring about was a little better than VGHAX for the last same five year period. Right now I have 14% of VGT instead of the 7% of VGHAX (healthcare) all in my Roth IRA which is last to be drawn and most potential for growth.

2015年3月25日 · The reason VHT is recommended over VGHCX is that VGHCX has a minimum investment of $100,000. The ETF buys into the same underlying fund. Passive index is generally better than active fund, due to lower expenses and lack of manager risk. That said, VGHCX still has a pretty low expense ratio for an active fund.

2025年2月25日 · I have VGHCX (Vanguard Health Care, which I don't even really want) in a taxable account. I sold another position in a taxable account and will be hit with $8,226 worth of dividends and capital gains in 2025, which obviously need to be offset. I thought I would start by selling VGHCX into VOO since VGHCX shows a long-term capital loss of $1,508.

2010年5月5日 · Unfortunately, in the days following my purchase VGHCX generally continued to trend downwards and I was feeling some buyer's remorse. However, I've noticed in recent days that VGHCX has frequently fallen less than other funds that I own. My buyer's remorse has lessened and I'm currently feeling pretty good about having added VGHCX to my portfolio.
