The sector with the lowest losses was the Sterling Corporate Bonds with a loss of just 0.16%, so it is the winner of the Sector of the Month for April 2012.

Although there were a few sectors showing losses, such as Global Emerging Markets and Specialist the majority of sectors reflected an increasing confidence in the markets with positive returns.

The “Sector of the Month” award goes to the UK All Share sector with an increase of more than 6% since last month.  The last time that the UK All Share sector won the award was May 2011.
