(GuruFocus, October 28, 2009) Investment Guru Brian Rogers of T.Rowe Price Equity Income Fund has reported his quarterly holdings. This is his sector allocation as of September 30, 2009:


Industry2009-03-312009-06-30
Technology6.3%6.5%
Financials19.7%20.9%
Utilities7.6%7.5%
Telecommunications5.6%4.9%
Consumer Services8.8%11.3%
Health Care8.1%7.1%
Consumer Goods5.6%8.5%
Industrials10.8%12.8%
Basic Materials4.9%6.1%
Oil & Gas12.1%14.3%



Commenting on the sector performances, Rogers said:
The consumer discretionary sector is one of the largest weightings in the portfolio due primarily to our exposure to the media industry. Several of our media companies produce unique content or own attractive assets that we feel are undervalued. In financials, we are focusing on companies with strong balance sheets that we feel are likely to benefit as the economy recovers. We generally view the information technology sector as cyclical since each company can operate at a different stage of individual industry cycles. We are drawn to the companies' strong cash flows and balance sheets.


On the outlook of the equity market, Rogers said he does not forecast short term market movements, instead he prefers “to focus on our primary goal of building wealth through equities over time.”
