“vs S&P” is Invesco Bloomberg Enhanced Fallen Angels ETF’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Invesco Bloomberg Enhanced Fallen Angels ETF’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, July has closed higher 80% of the time versus 90% across the last 10 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) July 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. July stands out, higher in 9 of 10 Julys, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+1.6%) and median (+1.2%) 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 July only about 61% of the time.
The strength clusters rather than stands alone — April–September forms a firm stretch that carries much of the year. The weaker half of the year is plainer: March has been the soft spot — the only month to average an outright loss (−1.0%), and the edge isn't year-round — the fund has trailed the S&P 500 in March, October, and November. Its roughest month on record was a −12.2% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
A long streak recently broke — July had risen 9 years straight before a −0.2% reading in 2025. Reassuringly, the tendency has held its shape: the recent five years still track the years behind them.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: July aside, the fund's months offer little reliable tilt.
Short answers on the fund's best month (July), its worst (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Only mildly. The fund's months are fairly even — July is the firmest (+1.6%) and March the softest (−1.0%), a narrow spread that points to weak seasonality rather than a strong calendar effect.
July has been the strongest, averaging +1.6% and closing higher in 9 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −1.0% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
