Seasonal Chart Analysis

Analysis of the Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (NYSE:AIF) seasonal charts above shows that a Buy Date of December 16 and a Sell Date of March 7 has resulted in a geometric average return of 2.36% above the benchmark rate of the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the past 9 years. This seasonal timeframe has shown positive results compared to the benchmark in 8 of those periods. This is a very good rate of success and the return strongly outperforms the relative buy-and-hold performance of the stock over the past 9 years by an average of 7.87% per year.

A word of caution: Only 9 years of data is available for shares of AIF, 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.
