Business Analysis- Info Technology
• Sector growth depends primarily on
technological advancement and
innovation.
– Unpredictable: what is hot today may be
obsolete in 6 months
• Dependence on cutting edge technology
leads to enormous R&D costs
– These R&D costs are the largest barrier to
entry
Business Analysis (cont.)
• Cyclical Sector with large impact on S&P500
– Tends to follow market cycles, can be highly volatile
– Can be a leading indicator during recovery, growth periods
• Largely impacted by Corporate and Consumer Spending
– Current Corporate/Consumer spending is down– mixed reviews
on when this starts to recover
– Some analysis suggests IT spending takes 7-9 quarters
following the trough in the cycle (Q209) to return to consistent
YOY growth
Business Analysis (cont.)
• Information Technology Life Cycle – primarily impacted
by the life cycle of PCs
– PCs’ typical life-span = 3-5 yrs (physically longer, however obsolete)
• Demand – largely affected by developed countries,
growth potential in under-developed countries
– 60% of all PCs owned by 15% of the world-wide population1
• LOTS of untapped demand
– Increasing handheld device demand/infrastructure
• Tel-com sector expanding infrastructure and increased cell phone
capabilities desired

Business Analysis (cont.)
• Growth Opportunities
– US Healthcare reform (Electronic Patient records)
– Windows 7/Office 2010/Snow Leopard
– Increased Corporate Spending/ Profits (following recovery, where /
when will money be spent?)
– Stimulus Package (everyone wins, right?)
– New Technology from Afghanistan/Iraq (like GPS from 1st Iraq war)
– Asia / India / Emerging Markets development(exploding demand?)
• Growth Risks
– Regulations (China, Iran, North Korea, etc)
– Double-dip recession or unstable recovery or long, slow growth
– Tax Effects
Business Analysis Summary
• Long Term
– IT Growth Opportunities outweigh risks
– Demand will undoubtedly increase long term
– IT becoming a business staple with massive
growth potential innovation globally
• Short-term
– Corporate Spending/Profits rebound?
– GDP growth

Recommendation
• Long Term:
– Info Tech will be sector leader amongst S&P
• Short Term:
– Have enjoyed strong outperformance
– Rebound in economy/spending may take time
Recommendation
 Lower our weight of the info technology sector
by 250 basis points
• Why?
– Currently overweight by 288 basis points
– Info Tech sector is up 42% YTD compared to
14% for the S&P 500
• GDP Growth forecasted 2% – 2.5% for years to
come puts some pressure on IT growth
• Majority of growth s/t likely to come from smaller
companies (we don’t own)
Recommendation
– Use proceeds to possibly bring financials
sector to S&P 500 level weight?
– Being in-line with S&P 500 index still has Info
Tech at a 19% allocation
