Finding the technology leaders of tomorrow

Overview


Managed by Voya Investment Management’s* experienced Global Technology Team based in San Francisco, Allianz Technology Trust offers access to the investment potential of the technology sector.

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 emerging trends and invest in stocks that have the potential to be tomorrow’s Apple, Google or Microsoft. With a history spanning over 20 years, Allianz Technology Trust has navigated the evolution of technology, from PCs to software, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, robotics and more.

The technology sector may be volatile, our long-term approach and proven expertise can help investors navigate the risks and stay ahead of trends. With deep connections to global innovation hubs and a strong track record, we aim to position the portfolio for enduring growth in this exciting sector. With the pace of innovation accelerating, the best could be yet to come.

*Allianz Global Investors and Voya Investment Management have entered into a long-term strategic partnership and as such, as of 25 July 2022, certain investment teams transferred to Voya Investment Management. This did not change the composition of the teams, the investment philosophy nor the investment process. AllianzGI remains the Company’s AIFM (Alternative Investment Fund Manager), providing company secretarial, administration and sales and marketing services.

Select Role
  • Individual and professional investors

  • Warning to Shareholders

    We are aware that some shareholders may have received unsolicited telephone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based organisations who target UK shareholders offering to sell them, what often turn out to be, worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. They can be extremely persistent and persuasive. Shareholders are therefore advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice or offers.

    Please note that it is most unlikely that either the company or the company’s Registrar, Link Asset Services, would make unsolicited telephone calls to shareholders. Any such calls would only ever relate to official documentation already circulated to shareholders and never in respect of investment ‘advice’.

    If you are in any doubt about the veracity of an unsolicited telephone call, please call the Company Secretary +44 (0)800 389 4696 or the Registrar on +44 (0) 371 664 0300.

    You can also report and get advice about fraud or cyber crime by contacting Action Fraud – National Fraud & Cyber Crime Reporting Centre 0300 123 2040 and visiting their website at www.actionfraud.police.uk.

    Investments

    You should always bear in mind that:

    Past performance does not predict future returns.

    The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. You should not make any assumptions about the future on the basis of this information.

    Changes in rates of exchange may cause the value of investments and the income from them to go down or up.

    In a building society your money is secure, whereas in a stock market-based investment it is exposed to a degree of risk and the value of your investment will fluctuate up and down.

    Allianz Technology Trust PLC is a quoted company listed on the London Stock Exchange. Its share prices are determined by factors including demand which means that the shares may trade below (at a discount) or above (at a premium to) the underlying net asset value.

    Competition among technology companies may result in aggressive pricing of their products and services, which may affect the profitability of the companies in which the Trust invests. In addition, because of the rapid pace of technological development, products or services developed by these companies may become rapidly obsolete or have relatively short product cycles. This may have the effect of making the Trust’s returns more volatile than the returns of a fund that does not invest in similarly related companies. Investment trusts can enhance returns through gearing. This can boost a Trust’s returns when investments perform well, though losses can be magnified when investments lose value. This Trust does not currently employ gearing. Derivatives can be used to manage the Trust efficiently.
