Both the JP Morgan and T Rowe funds provide investors with exposure technology-focused equities and therefore investors should expect the funds to be growth-oriented, according to McDermott.
However, there are several differences between the two products.
One of the biggest differences is market exposure, McDermott said. The JP Morgan fund has nearly all of its assets invested in the US market, while the T Rowe Price has a more global remit.

Portfolio concentration is also different between the two products, according to McDermott.
The JP Morgan fund is more diversified with around 63 holdings, while the T Rowe product is more concentrated with 39 stocks. He also noted that the T Rowe fund’s top 10 holdings account for nearly 50% of the portfolio, which compares to just 24.3% of JP Morgan’s top 10.
The diversification has also resulted in differences in market cap exposure, with the JP Morgan fund having more assets invested in medium-sized companies.
