Global technology equity funds have attracted about $195 billion in inflows over the last 12 months, the most of any major sector, according to new data from Deutsche Bank (chart below). This is more than the next nine sectors combined.
Inflows into tech funds have doubled over the past few months. "Technology funds are dominating global investor demand," strategists at The Kobeissi Letter said. Tech stocks remain in favor.
