Electronics

We classify companies in our Electronics portfolio as those that use nanotechnology to address problems in electronics-related industries, including semiconductors, telecommunications and data communications, metrology and test and measurement. We believe macroeconomic and microeconomic trends, including global connectivity, demand for increasing bandwidth due to pervasiveness of electronics in daily life, the desire to see not just hear, and need for real-time availability of data and demand for more functionality driven by increasing global prosperity, create attractive investment opportunities in electronics.
