THW: Revisiting The 11.8% Healthcare Yielder As Thesis Plays Out
We initially highlighted unwarranted optimism and faulty logic in THW and predicted it would underperform 2 funds. Our thesis proved correct as THW lagged cash by over 6%, delivering just 0.06% total returns. We tell you why we are less pessimistic today.

THW: Valuation Is Attractive Once More (Rating Upgrade)
abrdn World Healthcare Fund operates as a closed end fund that prioritizes income generation from its portfolio of healthcare investments. The current dividend yield sits at a high 11.7% and has never been reduced since the fund's inception. THW's weakness is the limited upside potential because of its closed end structure and the inclusion of a option strategy against underlying equities.

My Doctor Pays Me +7% Yields
We all have to see doctors from time to time, but does yours pay you or do you pay them? You can become the landlord and stakeholder of their business and receive passive income. My retirement is paid for by the market, yours can be too.

THW: Deteriorating Distribution Coverage (Downgrade)
abrdn World Healthcare Fund (THW) offers diversified exposure to the healthcare sector with a high dividend yield of 10.7% paid out on a monthly basis. The fund's distribution coverage has raised concerns as it has been primarily funded by return of capital, leading to NAV decline. THW's option strategy has not significantly boosted income and has limited upside potential.

THW Versus THQ: I Prefer Neither
I previously recommended the THQ fund over the THW fund, as THQ's distribution was more sustainable. However, THQ has recently boosted its distribution to a 10.9% yield. This risks making it long-term unsustainable as well. I recommend investors buy low-cost passive ETFs and create their own 'high-yielding' funds by periodically selling a portion of their holdings.
