201.0. "Vanguard Health Fund" by BAGELS::REED () Mon May 18 1992 14:25

    
    
    	I have invested in the Vanguard Health Fund and have been
    	happy.  However, it has slipped this year.
    
    	I'd really appreciate some views relative to staying with the 
    	Health fund (VSPH) or switching to something else (what?)

201.1Hold it if you can afford..RT95::HUMon May 18 1992 16:1319
    
    
    I remember that I read an article about Health fund in general on
    U.S.A Today last week.
    
    The concensus from three analyst interviewed are health industry 
    looking promising long term wise. Although lots of fund get beaten
    this yr after spectacular return on 1991, it will rebound back
    when earing return and U.S population aged older.
    
    It also mentioned Vanguard Health fund as one of top contender to
    hold/buy. Because, this fund didn't invest too much into small
    venture/start_up company, it has heavily into major drug company,
    like Pfizer, Meck etc. That's main reason, it slipped little bit
    compare to other's bitter loss.
    
    I'll keep it if you can hold for another 3-5 yrs.

Yes, I feel the same way about Vanguard Health.   I'll keep my little
investment in it.   It's the most conservative of the health sector
funds with an excellent long term record - not as spectacular as the
Fidelity versions, but it has a lower risk factor, according to the
Morningstar criteria.
