3 Top Technology Mutual Funds to Boost Long-Term Portfolio Growth

Technology mutual funds are ideal for investors seeking long-term growth and impressive returns. Improving industry fundamentals and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics and data science, are key catalysts for the sector’s growth.

Technology has come to have a broader meaning than just hardware and software. Social media and Internet companies are now part of the technology landscape.
