Strategy: In the market for income generators

The UK equity market has enjoyed its best performance since the final quarter of 2003, as the rally that started in mid-March continued through the current economic recession towards the prospect of recovery. As a result, the rally was led by a return to favour of cyclical sectors, which sold off aggressively during the downturn. Meanwhile, more reassuring US and Chinese economic data and stronger commodity prices benefited oil and mining stocks.
