If you re looking for a good long-term investment, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that s focused on the technology sector is a great place to look. The sector has driven the market to new highs for the past decade and has been one of the top-performing sectors for decades, even through periods of volatility.
As you seek out the right technology-focused ETF to invest in, know that they re not all the same. Some invest in a much broader swath of the sector, while others are more concentrated and focus on just information technology, for example, or some other area. Some look at just large caps, while others include smaller companies, too

RALLY CRY: Nutrien’s CEO Chuck Magro views the company’s recent carbon farming announcement as a rallying cry. “We can’t do it alone,” he says. The company is rolling out a program in Illinois and Ohio where farmers can earn up to $50 an acre for adding conservation practices that store carbon.
Nutrien recently announced plans to buy credits from farmers for storing carbon between 2021 and 2022.
The company invited other agribusinesses to join in the pilot project at its virtual investor day at the end of November. Demand for carbon credits has doubled since 2017, and leadership is bullish that it will continue, giving farmers a $50-per-acre increase in profits. Assuming carbon sells at a price of $10 to $20 a ton, farmers in the program can expect up to $20 per acre from credit sales and up to $30 per acre in yield improvements, says Nutrien CEO Chuck Magro.
