"Everyone knows" that if you invest in something Global that's mostly 10 or so US companies.
You can spead more evenly, very easily, by using a verson of the same fund which is "Equal weighted".
That's done by allowing each stock the same tiny percentage of the fund. They all count equally, their growths are added up.
It turns out that it makes almost no difference. The SIZE calculated one (done by market capitalization for each company) is slightly better, but it depends when exactly you start and end your time window.

If you look at a table of all the funds to see which do best over many years, Managed Tech funds fill the first few pages. That hasn't always been the case

That illustrates the point I keep trying to make - you do well if you go with what has been doing well recently. But you have to watch it.
I used that blue fund for a log time, but not now.

Conveniently ignore the post prior at #480 where you introduce the subject. I need no more gaslight than already provided by the s.fix trolls, thanks. I agree the topic of investments can include care homes or any other area of private investment: a case can be made that the private sector has inflated costs and reduced the quality of care since the sector was introduced by Maggie T. and AB is correct to consider bringing the care home system back under public ownership in the form of council care. This will be seen as a move towards a Socialist ideal by opponents of this way of doing things but a method of funding care homes must be found and maintained without reducing famillies to putting their life savings into a year or two of care at the end of a family members life.

I already answered that, it's not complicated.
And, as I also commented, if you can't understand, it's because you're being thick. As someone else said, With your own Issues.

Does anyone still use the FT for Financial information?

Some do, but you can do much better for less money.
Opinions are 10 a penny. Watching Bloomberg will give you a wide selection on the same subject, from the biggest fund managers, bank Ceos, etc.
There's much more information online. A lot is free if you know where to look. You do have to pay for some, but less than the digital FT. That information is time-relevant, ie to what's going on in the moment, too. Several sources give you the info in any format you want, sorted and screened, and you can set triggers etc for what you want.
If you want paid advice on what to buy, you can get that from as little a $5 a month, to I think $30k per year.
