Month by month
The fund's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in June (+3.5 pts); it has trailed the market most in February (−6.0 pts).
“vs S&P” is Global X Cloud Computing’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Global X Cloud Computing’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, June has closed higher 80% of the time versus 86% across the last 7 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) June return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 7(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 7-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
Dependability is the through-line here. June stands out, higher in 6 of 7 Junes, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+3.7%) and median (+4.7%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. Crucially, the gain is the fund's own rather than a rising tide's: June has cleared the S&P 500 by +3.5 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages June only about 52% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: January, July, and October have also closed higher more often than not. At the other end of the calendar, February has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−6.3%), and the edge isn't year-round — the fund has trailed the S&P 500 in February, March, and September. Its roughest month on record was a −13.2% April in 2022 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, June's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: June aside, the fund's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 7-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the fund's best month (June), its worst (February), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2019 its best month (June, +3.7%) has run well ahead of its worst (February, −6.3%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
June has been the strongest, averaging +3.7% and closing higher in 6 of 7 years since 2019.
It's the weakest, averaging −6.3% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
