Investors comparing these two funds are really choosing between two different philosophies.
The iShares Global Healthcare ETF (NYSEMKT:IXJ) is a low-cost, diversified way to own the global healthcare sector
The Simplify Health Care ETF (NYSEMKT:PINK) is an actively managed, more concentrated fund that includes innovative biotech and medtech names — with a mission-driven twist that sets it apart from most other ETFs.
