Which equity sectors won the last decade? Part (2)
22th September, 2020
Following up on the previous post (hyperlink to previous post), in which 10 year returns of 4 sectors (Tech, Biotech, Healthcare, Energy) were compared with S&P500.
4 more sectors are shown in the below charts:
- 1. Materials (XLB)
- 2. Industrial (XLI)
- 3. Consumer Discretionary (VCR)
- 4. Consumer Staples (VDC)
Not surprisingly, consumer staples have the best "worst 1 year" in this group. On the other hand, the consumer discretionary ETF (interestingly called VCR) recorded best overall average returns, thanks to stocks such as Amazon and Tesla. This is also reflective of consumer behavior over the last decade.
