How to invest in tech stocks, a risky but fast-rising segment of the market

And speaking of this volatile year: Tech stocks even seem impervious to the coronavirus. "The tech sector has performed very strongly during the pandemic, recovering from the shock plunge in March 2020 to reach new record highs," says Susannah Streeter, a senior investment and market analyst with Hargreaves Lansdown.

There's a fundamental reason why tech stocks tend to attract more investor demand than other kinds of equities. Given that they look to the future and promise the delivery of new, exciting products — or new platforms which will help them secure dominant market positions — they're virtually synonymous with higher-than-average growth.

"The behavioral changes COVID-19 has brought about are only an acceleration of digital trends already sweeping through the economy. This has added to optimism that tech stocks, in particular stocks which have already seen big gains, will still be a safer longer-term bet," Streeter says. The technology sector can be broken down into a variety of sub-sectors, each of which tends to be valued differently.
