The ongoing charges ratio fell to 0.69% from 0.77% following changes to the trust's fee structure, and no dividend was recommended.
Chair Catherine Cripps said the trust had delivered its strongest relative performance in at least two decades as its "AI maximalist" positioning aligned with accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence.
Lead manager Ben Rogoff said the portfolio benefited from heavy exposure to semiconductor, networking and AI infrastructure companies while remaining underweight software, adding that the team remained confident in the long-term AI investment theme despite expecting continued market volatility.
At 1053 BST, shares in Polar Capital Technology Trust were down 0.4% at 678.76p.
