Sectors I Invest In

Near the end of last month, I talked about my recovery from the last two bear markets . I compared my recovery with the TSX recovery and did better. The reason maybe because of the sector allocations of my portfolio with that of the TSX

So, I should talk about is the composition of my portfolio. As you can see in the following tables, my sector allocations are very different from the TSX. I have lots of utilities and Industrials compared to the TSX which has a lot more Energy and Materials.

I used my current investment sectors because I am using the current ones for TSX. I would image these would change because at different times different sectors would do better or worse, so the investment in different sectors would change.

The first table is sorted from largest to smallest using TSX's sectors.

Sector	TSX	me 2016
Financials	37.48%	34.05%
Energy	19.89%	4.15%
Materials	11.76%	0.16%
Industrials	8.31%	17.90%
Consumer Discretionary	6.45%	6.21%
Telecommunication Services	5.37%	1.80%
Consumer Staples	4.32%	9.82%
Information Technology	2.94%	1.90%
Utilities	2.35%	18.59%
Health Care	1.12%	0.00%
Cash, Near-Cash		5.43%
Total	99.99%	100.01%
