Eagle Star has launched a TopTech 100 fund, predicting that that technology and other industries based around intellectual property are likely to be one of the growth sectors of the next decade.

The TopTech fund is designed to link to the performance of the 100 stocks of the Nasdaq 100 index.

Eagle Star recommends the fund to investors considering the Government savings scheme, who are prepared to take the risk and are not committed to withdrawing their investment after five years.
