Investors will always prefer to have their portfolios divercified against different sectors. The broad sector allocation increases the possibility of making a profit or at least avoiding a loss. However, this may also reduce the expected return on Needham Mutual Fund.

Institutional investors that are interested in enforcing a sector tilt in their portfolio can use exchange-traded funds, such as Needham Small Cap Mutual Fund, as a low-cost alternative to building a custom portfolio. So, using sector ETFs to diversify your portfolio can be a profitable strategy.
