Investors who are adventurous and are comfortable with fluctuating Market conditions, Mutual Funds have something for you— Sector Funds! A sector fund is a type of Mutual Fund that invests in securities of specific sectors of the Economy, such as telecom, banking, FMCG, Information Technology (IT), pharmaceutical and infrastructure. In other words, sector funds narrow down your invested wealth only to the specific Industry or sector. For instance, a banking sector fund can invest in banks and a pharma fund can invest only in stocks of pharma companies. Sector funds carry a higher Volatility than any other Equity Funds.
