In the wake of the tumultuous past six weeks, investors have had an increasingly difficult time determining investment opportunities based on the direction of the overall market as well as the major industry sectors. However, using the Revere Hierarchy™, an in-depth industry classification system, investors can research further into the sectors and subsectors that have posted differentiated results — both positive and negative.

For example, within the Healthcare sector, the Medicare Managed Care sector posted the highest year-to-date returns. Within the Consumer Staples sector, the Limited Service/Fast Food Restaurants subsector posted the greatest year-to-date returns, and within the Energy sector, the Upstream Well-Servicing subsector produced the largest year-to-date returns.

Among sectors lagging the S&P 500, Commercial Banks in the Midwest East North Central region posted the lowest year-to-date returns — close to a 10 percent difference from the performance of the market benchmark. Within the Consumer Retail subsector, Classifieds and Directories brought in the lowest returns within the subsector — producing results that were more than 65 percent below the overall market.

Investors should continue to focus on a company's products and services and lean towards companies with clear customer demand as they should continue to lead.
