In general biotechs and early stage pharma cos. pay little or no dividends even if they generate positive cash flow, earnings ,etc. Most are actually dependent on debt/equity financing to stay afloat and put most of their cash into R&D (or marketing in the case of big pharma!)

Below is a link to all 25 healthcare ETFs on the market, but you won't find any that meet the high dividend you are looking for in the biomed space:

Just scroll down to the 'Healthcare Exchange-Traded Funds" Index which includes all of the U.S. listed health ETFs

Thanks mike.
Maybe a closed end fund is more up my ally, turning over holdings and generating monthly payments.
My portfolio Strategy is an average dividend of 10% annually, long term holds and diversified among hot sectors and economies.
I want to take a position in BioMed that can answer those requirements.
Thanks for you help mike, you are a BioMed Guru in my book :)
