I have been using GC for years for all of my bookkeeping, including investment

I have managed to make rudimentary Asset Allocation reports for the major 
investment types (stocks, bonds, funds, etc.) but would like to also monitor 
the distribution of my investments over sector (financial, industrial, 
pharmaceutical, etc.)
I don't find any way to do this in GC, or even a way to associate a given 
investment with a given sector.
How do other GC users handle this?  Is there some add-on or external tool 
anyone can recommend?

It's all in how you set up your CoA. You cannot report on data that you do not capture.

I assume your CoA now has:

Assets

       Investments

               Stocks

               Bonds

               etc.

You want

Assets

        investments

               stocks

                       financial

                       industrial

                       etc.

                bonds

                        financial

                        etc.

Now the data has been captured. Your next question is going to likely be that you want to be able to have reports be EITHER hierarchy. Sorry, not WITHIN gnucash as only one CoA hierarchy in standard bookkeeping. So while you can get ONE directly, for the reverse, you'll need to export and rearrange outside of gnucash.
