Seasonal Chart Analysis

Analysis of the First Trust Active Factor Large Cap ETF (AMEX:AFLG) seasonal charts above shows that a Buy Date of September 16 and a Sell Date of December 20 has resulted in a geometric average return of 1.01% above the benchmark rate of the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the past 4 years. This seasonal timeframe has shown positive results compared to the benchmark in 5 of those periods. This is an excellent rate of success and the return strongly outperforms the relative buy-and-hold performance of the stock over the past 4 years by an average of 3.2% per year.

A word of caution: Only 4 years of data is available for shares of AFLG, 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.
