Business
Polar Capital Technology Trust plc Polar Capital Technology Trust plc is a United Kingdom-based closed-end investment trust that maximises long-term capital growth for shareholders by investing in a diversified portfolio of quoted technology companies worldwide; its holdings span sectors including software, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment, IT services, cloud computing, artificial intelligence enablers and beneficiaries, and select non-traditional technology firms such as Rolls-Royce for AI-related hardware and power infrastructure; individual company exposures are capped at 10% of gross assets, or up to 15% where benchmark weightings permit, with emerging markets limited to 25% of gross assets; the trust targets high-quality, financially strong companies with experienced management poised to capitalise on major technology trends, particularly generative AI, which comprises over 90% of the portfolio. Launched in 1996 and headquartered at 16 Palace Street, London, the FTSE 100 constituent is managed by Polar Capital LLP's 11-member technology team led by Ben Rogoff since 2006, with Alastair Unwin as deputy manager since 2023. Recent portfolio adjustments include reductions in software holdings and underweights in large-cap names like Alphabet and Apple relative to the benchmark, alongside shifts toward AI infrastructure providers amid market volatility; gearing stood at 2% of net asset value at the fiscal year-end of 30 April 2025, when the ongoing charge fell to 0.77% and the performance fee structure was eliminated effective May 2025; shareholders approved continuation at the September 2025 AGM with 99% support, while the company executed share buybacks post-year-end, including over 11.9 million shares by early July 2025.
