ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
WEDNESDAY 28 JULY 1999
At the Annual General Meeting of Henderson Technology Trust held today,
Brian Ashford-Russell, Fund Manager and Director commented that:
"Notwithstanding recent weakness in technology share prices, the Company's
new financial year has started well. At 25 July, total net assets had
risen by approximately 14% to #318.7m from their level at 30 April 1999.
Second quarter earnings results demonstrated once again that the
technology industry remains the most rapidly growing sector of the global
economy. Moreover, the industry remains uniquely positioned at the sweet
spot of the deflationary cycle.
Not only is technology one of the primary drivers of deflation in the
global economy, it is also its most significant beneficiary as companies,
faced with diminishing profitability as a result of their loss of pricing
power, are forced to invest aggressively in technology in an attempt to
restructure their cost base. This trend, which was once predominantly a
US phenomenon, is rapidly being replicated as both European and Asian
economies recover. In both of the latter regions, technology spending as
a percentage of GNP lags far behind that of the USA. While expenditure in
the USA continues to grow rapidly, in Europe and in Asia it is
accelerating dramatically.
Consequently, we remain very optimistic about the medium term prospects
for the technology sector. However, we are cautious about the outlook
over the next few months. High absolute valuations, a crowded calendar of
new issues and now modest institutional cash holdings all argue for
caution. We seem to be at the early stages of a consolidation/correction
phase that may last into the late autumn and provide better buying
opportunities in September or October."
