Macquarie Science and Technology Fund seeks to provide growth of capital.
The fund invests primarily in equity securities of science and technology companies worldwide, selected through bottom-up analysis for growth potential, earnings trajectory, management quality, and competitive advantages derived from scientific or technological developments. The manager identifies secular trends within industries and typically holds 35 to 60 stocks. Because the fund is nondiversified, it may concentrate a significant portion of assets in a limited number of issuers, creating risk of larger losses if those holdings decline.

How it has done
WSTRX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 29.17%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 6 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.42% | +74.61% | +183.70% | +126.82% | -13.93% | |
| 1.17% | +75.04% | +185.84% | +128.83% | -13.90% | |
| 1.92% | +73.70% | +179.43% | +121.46% | -14.02% | |
| 1.17% | +74.99% | +185.77% | +129.50% | -13.89% | |
| 0.92% | +75.44% | +187.94% | +132.06% | -13.86% | |
| 0.84% | +75.62% | +188.70% | +133.21% | -13.84% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 11.76pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 2.35pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
