Utility stocks have always represented a strong core investment choice for individuals interested in income and growth. The utility industry is typically considered a defensive sector, and as such the stocks tend to have better relative performance when investors are concerned about market risk. This was certainly the case in 2011, when utilities handily outperformed the general market averages, adding approximately 18.5 percent. This year, however, an accommodating federal policy and some concerns about utility stock valuations encouraged investors to move out of the more defensive sectors; year-to-date the utility index has gained around four percent, underperforming the overall market.
