Learn moreAllianz Technology Trust is managed by the highly experienced AllianzGI Global Technology team based in San Francisco. The team benefits from its close proximity to Silicon Valley where many of the world’s key technology companies are headquartered.
The Trust is a UK listed closed-ended fund which aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing principally in technology companies globally. The team looks to identify major trends ahead of the crowd and invest in stocks that have the potential to be tomorrow’s Apple, Google or Microsoft.
The Trust invests in mid to large technology companies. Our aim is to hold companies we expect to benefit from the continued growth in particular sub-sectors of technology, especially in companies that provide solutions to save money or enable companies to improve their relationships with customers and deliver revenue growth. The Trust also seeks to hold companies that will create shareholder value with the introduction of a new product or new technology. Over the past 20 years, this would have included PC manufacturers, software, internet applications or consumer devices.
We are seeing a wave of innovation in the technology sector: automobiles, advertising, security, retail, and web services are all being shaped and transformed by advances in technology.
Technology is a specialist field and it takes a manager who can call upon experience, an extensive network and the strongest research and analytical tools to spot the trends behind the headlines and to identify the potential tech winners. We believe that the case for strong relative performance from the technology sector remains robust.
Allianz Technology Trust was formed in December 1995 and relaunched by AllianzGI in 2007 for investors to gain exposure to quoted technology companies on a worldwide basis with the aim of achieving long-term capital growth.
The Board appointed AllianzGI to manage the Trust’s assets from April 2007 based on the performance of AllianzGI’s US-based technology team, their experience and AllianzGI’s depth of expertise in the management of investment trusts.
Since 2007 the Trust has been managed by the highly experienced AllianzGI Global Technology team based in San Francisco. The team benefits from its close proximity to Silicon Valley where many of the world’s key technology companies are headquartered.
