“vs S&P” is Invesco Equal Weight 0-30 Years Treasury ETF’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Invesco Equal Weight 0-30 Years Treasury ETF’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, November has closed higher 100% of the time versus 80% across the last 10 years — the pattern is strengthening.
Figures are the typical (median) November return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 10(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 10-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. November stands out, higher in 8 of 10 Novembers, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+1.0%) and median (+0.9%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages November only about 62% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: January, March, and May have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: October has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−1.5%), and the edge isn't year-round — the fund has trailed the S&P 500 in April, October, and November.
November has now closed higher 6 years running. If anything it has sharpened recently — the last five Novembers run ahead of the earlier years.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: November aside, the fund's months offer little reliable tilt.
Short answers on the fund's best month (November), its worst (October), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Only mildly. The fund's months are fairly even — November is the firmest (+1.0%) and October the softest (−1.5%), a narrow spread that points to weak seasonality rather than a strong calendar effect.
November has been the strongest, averaging +1.0% and closing higher in 8 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −1.5% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
