We're starting to get more figures on the market's performance for the first quarter of 2013. One interesting breakdown is Morningstar's look at the returns of various sectors in the mutual fund business. There's been only one big loser: precious metals, which have been hurt by the recent drops in value for gold and silver.
Here's a look at how the major fund sectors performed in the first quarter:
Health, up 15.8 percent
Utilities, up 11.1 percent
Energy, up 11.1 percent
Financial, up 10.0 percent
Real estate, up 6.9 percent
Technology, up 6.8 percent
Communication, up 5.9 percent
Natural resources, up 3.8 percent
Precious metals, down 17.2 percent
