•
•
•
Diverse sector with a focus on computer technology.
Innovation is a key driver for success within the sector.

out of down cycles.

current economic conditions. As the economy picks up
we feel corporate IT spending will follow.

depend on innovation and new market penetration.

Reason to Invest in Info Tech
• Of the 13 industries with Rising Relative strength in S&P 500, 6
are in the Info Tech Sector. On March 24, S&P Equity Strategy
upgraded the technology sector to overweight from market
weight.
• Above average balance sheet strength and potential to continue
outgrowing the overall economy.
• Industry leaders in this Sector trade predominantly in the U.S
Stock market.
• Sector is less cyclical than it was earlier this decade. Many tech
companies’ offerings are essential to operate and grow
businesses, and they can often help firms save money and be
more efficient.
Recommendation
• We recommend maintaining the current SIM IT weight
within the portfolio.
• Although industries within the sector can be dependent
on consumer spending patterns, this should not be
enough to negatively impact the entire sector.
• There is potential upside from funds designated to IT
spending from US stimulus plan.
