Seasonal Chart Analysis

Analysis of the VanEck Vectors Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (AMEX:SHYD) seasonal charts above shows that a Buy Date of March 18 and a Sell Date of June 29 has resulted in a geometric average return of 1.24% above the benchmark rate of the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the past 8 years. This seasonal timeframe has shown positive results compared to the benchmark in 6 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 8 years by an average of 9.2% per year.

A word of caution: Only 8 years of data is available for shares of SHYD, 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.
