Sector-specific funds

Hey all,

Been putting some thought into this one and wanted to hear your opinions on this:

As it pertains to equities, what are your thoughts on funds that specialize in a sector vs. the sector sleeve of a larger fund? Do you believe that there is an inherent advantage, either from a returns standpoint or from a learning one, to funds that cover/specialize in only one sector?
