Firsthand Technology Opportunities Fund
Strategy and Statistics
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of high-technology companies in the industries and markets that we believe hold the most growth potential within the technology sector. Due to the Fund's focus on emerging opportunities within the technology sector, its investments tend to include younger companies with market capitalizations in the small- or mid-cap categories.
