FYI: It’s a coin flip whether the S&P 500 will end 2018 with a positive or a negative return. As of the close on Dec. 13, the index had returned 0.8%, including dividends—on pace for its weakest showing of the decade-long bull market.
But a flattish S&P 500 doesn’t tell the whole story. Within the broader market, there are 11 sectors, each with wide-ranging returns—all the way from a 12.2% gain to a 15.9% loss.
For sector investors, those who pick and choose industry groups to overweight and underweight relative to the broader market, there’s been a lot of opportunity to outperform or underperform the S&P 500.
