Since Sectoral-Technology Mutual Funds are equity funds i.e. they invest in stocks of companies, you need to stay invested for at least 5 years.

Sectoral Funds have to invest at least 80% of their assets in stocks of companies operating in a particular sector. For instance, a Banking Sectoral Fund will invest only in stocks of banks, NBFCs, and other financial institutions. Due to this narrow sector focus, these funds lack diversification and therefore carry high risk.

Sectoral-Technology Mutual Funds invest in equities, so in a short term, they can be volatile. However, over a long-term, the risk comes down substantially.

Sectoral-Technology Funds have on an average delivered 20.72% p.a. returns in the last 5 years. Their 3 and 10 year annualized returns are 27.23% and 19.66% p.a.

Sectoral Funds are some of the riskiest Mutual Funds. Since these funds invest only in one sector, there is no sector diversification, and that is the main reason for their high risk. If the sector goes down, all the stocks in the portfolio will go down with nothing to cushion this fall. These funds are suitable only for experienced investors, and even then, not more than 10% of the portfolio should be in these funds.
