S&P 500 Index Sector Performance (As of 3/31/2019)

Chart of the Week for April 12, 2019 - April 18, 2019

Nine of the 11 of the S&P 500 Index sectors rose in the twelve months ended March 31, 2019 and the S&P 500 Index returned 9.50%.

Similar to the stock market as a whole, returns for individual sectors of the stock market experience fluctuations. For example, a sector may outperform other sectors for a period of time and then underperform in subsequent periods. The chart above compares the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500"), including dividends, to its 11 underlying sectors for the twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2019 ("current" period) and March 31, 2018 ("prior" period). The S&P 500 is an index consisting of 500 companies representing larger-capitalization stocks traded in the U.S. and is a benchmark commonly used to measure the performance of the U.S. stock market. The S&P 500 gained 9.50% in the current period with nine of the 11 sectors posting positive returns. For the prior period, eight of the 11 sectors posted positive returns with the S&P 500 gaining 13.99%.

Equity markets were volatile in the current period, sharp declines in the fourth quarter of 2018 were followed by a strong recovery in first quarter of 2019. Events that impacted returns over the current period included hopes of a U.S.-China trade deal, three U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate range increases then indication in March 2019 that interest rates will be maintained at current levels, tame inflation, and positive fourth quarter 2018 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Real Estate (21.00%) and Utilities (19.33%) were leaders in the current period while Materials (-0.43%) and Financials (-4.67%) were the only sectors with negative returns.

Market and sector returns fluctuate from year to year depending upon a variety of factors, which are very difficult to forecast. Therefore, it is important to understand the principles of investing before establishing an investment strategy to be sure that it is consistent with your personal goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.
