Reflecting a rebound in the stock market, S&P 500 index funds topped performance in the week of Dec. 26 through Jan. 2, Lipper Inc. reported. They were up 2.22% on average.

The bulk of that occurred on the new year's first market day. The benchmark soared 3.3%. It rose 0.43 point on Dec. 31. The bogey fell the four trading sessions prior to that.

The broad market rally also boosted multi-cap value funds. They were the second best-performing fund category, rising 2.2% in the week.

Large-cap value funds came in third, up 2.17%. Mid-cap value funds followed, up 2.5%.

Overall, U.S. diversified stock funds were up an average 1.82%.

Telecom funds led sector portfolios. They rose 1.77% as fund managers continued to snap up bargains.
