Technology tracker

LarryR

Hi

I was looking to get some good, easy, low fee exposure to technology firms and thought there may be a tech tracker I could invest in? I saw the vanguard information technology etf (VGT), but it seems that isn't available in the UK. Are there any other funds that would be good to look at? 
Thanks

Not quite trackers, but both Fidelity (Fidelity Global tech) and L&G (L&G Global Tech) do tech funds - and there are others such as Axa, Janus Henderson Polar.  Would any of these meet your needs?

If you want something equivalent to the Vanguard ETF, then there are a few options here: https://www.justetf.com/uk/how-to/invest-in-information-technology.html

Just be aware that "tech" has a had a remarkable bull run since the 2007-2009 crisis, and again through Covid, and that many particularly US based tech companies are essentially just advertising/media/consumer discretionaries that have borrowed hugely to pay buybacks, which, combined with the meagre dividends they pay out, often exceed their total profits but bump up their stock prices and insiders' wallers considerably.

L&G Global Tech is a cheap tracker which has done me proud over the last three years…it’s down about 15% from its high so worth keeping an eye on because at some point it becomes a good buy/top up again, if you believe as I do that tech will rise again.
