Reality check
Not enough recent April history to say whether the pattern still holds.
Figures are the typical (median) April return and how often it rose — the last 1 years versus the last 2(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 2-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
The seasonal story is really one month's story — April. It has closed higher in all 1 Aprils, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+44.1%) and median (+44.1%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. No month is steadier: April's returns vary by just 0.0% year to year, and even its worst April in 2 years lost only 44.1% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the fund's own and not just a buoyant market — April has outpaced the S&P 500 by +42.4 points on average. Few peers keep such company in April — the typical stock clears it just 55% of the time.
April anchors a run, too: the April-through-June window has been the fund's reliable season. At the other end of the calendar, July has been the soft spot — the weakest of 5 months that average a loss (−21.0%), and the edge isn't year-round — the fund has trailed the S&P 500 in July, December, and March. Its roughest month on record was a −27.6% December in 2025 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a fund this dependable in April, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 2-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the fund's best month (April), its worst (July), and whether it really trades seasonally.
