The death of Steve Jobs was a tragic loss to the world, but also to the technology sector. Much has been written about this brilliant man, a clever business man with vision, passion and drive, partnering with a smart engineer like Steve Wozniak to create brilliant technology that was user friendly, but also sophisticated.

What is just incredible is the share price growth of Apple. Between 1997 and 2011, the stock as grown by 9000%. In that same period, the share price of the rival Hewlett Packard has shrunk by 48%. Thus technology investment has risks and rewards.
Thus investing £100 in 1997 in Hewlett Packard would have been pretty tough to swallow, with that £100 being worth £52 today. Hmmmmm, a grim investment return. Thus diversification into a technology funds is a good way to get exposure into the technology sector, some great funds with great holdings are easily accessible to retail investors.
