After consecutive monthly gains this financial year the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index produced a negative return of 0.8% for the month

of September.

The biggest fall was in the energy sector, down 9.8%, after strong returns in the previous four months, as the oil price fell towards the end of

continued to lead this sector lower. The other sector to experience a significant decline over the month was Consumer Staples, down 4.4%,

with the fall in the share price of Woolworths over the month having a large impact.

return. Over the month of September, the All-Ordinaries Gold Index was up 25.4% and is up 40.3% for the financial year to date.
