About WSTYX

Macquarie Science and Technology Fund Class Y is an institutional mutual fund that primarily targets growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of companies within the science and technology sectors. The fund predominantly allocates its assets to large-cap technology and high-tech businesses, with a significant concentration in industry leaders such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Amazon.com. By focusing more than 25% of its assets in the science and technology industry, the fund is designed to capture the innovations and advancements driving these sectors while maintaining some exposure to related areas like communication services and consumer discretionary companies. Managed by Delaware Management Company with support from Macquarie’s global affiliates, the fund aims for long-term capital appreciation and, to a lesser extent, capital preservation. Market significance is underscored by its sizable asset base, exposure to transformative technology themes, and a strategy that aligns with investors seeking specialized access to growth-oriented sectors. The fund's performance can be more sensitive to technology sector dynamics compared to broadly diversified funds, reflecting both the potential opportunities and risks inherent in its specialized investment approach.
