Vanguard Health Care Fund Profile

Founded in 1928, Wellington Management Company LLP is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The firm has advised Vanguard Health Care Fund since 1984. Fund Manager: Jean M. Hynes, CFA, CEO of Wellington Management Company, Managing Partner and Equity Portfolio Manager.

Vanguard Health Care Fund Investing Philosophy

The Vanguard Health Care Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks broadly representing the health care industry. The advisor seeks to maintain exposure across five primary subsectors: health services, medical products, specialty pharmaceuticals, major pharmaceuticals and international markets.
Fundamental research focuses on companies with high-quality balance sheets, strong management and the potential for new products that will lead to above-average growth in revenue and earnings. Reflecting the advisor’s contrarian style, stocks may be purchased after negative events have caused a decline in share price.
