Month by month
The fund's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in December (+1.0 pts); it has trailed the market most in October (−4.8 pts).
“vs S&P” is Akre Focus ETF’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Akre Focus ETF’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Not enough recent December history to say whether the pattern still holds.
Figures are the typical (median) December return and how often it rose — the last 1 years versus the last 1(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 1-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: December, up in all 1 Decembers while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+2.0%) and median (+2.0%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. It is also the calendar's calmest month, its returns swinging least from year to year (a 0.0% spread), and even its worst December in 1 years lost only 2.0% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Crucially, the gain is the fund's own rather than a rising tide's: December has cleared the S&P 500 by +1.0 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages December only about 58% of the time.
Only November comes anywhere near it for reliability. On the other side of the ledger, October has been the soft spot — the only month to average an outright loss (−3.7%), and the edge isn't year-round — the fund has trailed the S&P 500 in October and November.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: December aside, the fund's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 1-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the fund's best month (December), its worst (October), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a moderate degree. Since 2025 its best month (December, +2.0%) has run well ahead of its worst (October, −3.7%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
December has been the strongest, averaging +2.0% and closing higher in its one year on record since 2025.
It's the weakest, averaging −3.7% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
