Fund Description
The fund was incepted in April 1996 and is managed by Northern Trust Investments. The fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in equity securities and securities of companies that develop, produce or distribute products and services related to technology. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies principally engaged in technology business activities. Although the fund primarily invests in the securities of U.S. issuers, it may make limited investments in the securities of foreign issuers either directly or indirectly (for example, through ADRs). Dividends and capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually.
