Seasonal Chart Analysis

Analysis of the Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF (AMEX:VFMV) seasonal charts above shows that a Buy Date of July 10 and a Sell Date of November 2 has resulted in a geometric average return of 0.73% above the benchmark rate of the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the past 6 years. This seasonal timeframe has shown positive results compared to the benchmark in 4 of those periods. This is a good rate of success and the return strongly outperforms the relative buy-and-hold performance of the stock over the past 6 years by an average of 6.34% per year.

A word of caution: Only 6 years of data is available for shares of VFMV, perhaps insufficient to create a seasonal profile that accurately gauges the seasonal tendencies influencing the investment. Ideally, while 20 years is preferred, at least 10 years of data is required to perform a seasonal analysis that is considered to be reliable for future seasonal periods.
