Mark is a portfolio manager who has recently performed an attribution analysis on his equity fund, which has outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 Index over the past year. In his reports, he identifies various sectors where his stock selections contributed positively to performance. Additionally, he notes that his overweight position in technology stocks, which significantly outperformed the market, was a major driver of returns.
