Sector Fund A sector fund is a stock mutual, exchange- traded or closed-end fund that invests solely in businesses that operate in a particular industry or sector of the economy. Because the holdings of this type of fund are in the same industry, there is an inherent lack of diversification associated with these funds.
Sector Fund Examples include gold funds (gold mining stock), technology funds, and utility funds.
Sector Fund Example Fund: Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK)
