Month by month
The fund's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in December (+4.6 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−7.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is Procure Space ETF’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Procure Space ETF’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, December has closed higher 60% of the time versus 71% across the last 7 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) December 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
This is a fund you can almost set a calendar by, and December is the anchor — it has closed higher in 5 of 7 Decembers, the steadiest beat on its year.
Read it with one caveat: the average (+5.6%) runs well ahead of the median (+2.8%), so a handful of outsized years — not steady strength — do much of the lifting. Better still, that strength is the fund's own and not just a buoyant market — December has outpaced the S&P 500 by +4.6 points on average. Few peers keep such company in December — the typical stock clears it just 58% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — May and July have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. The weaker half of the year is plainer: March 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 March, September, and February. Its roughest month on record was a −29.6% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, December's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
For a fund this dependable in December, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 7-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the fund's best month (December), its worst (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2019 its best month (December, +5.6%) has run well ahead of its worst (March, −6.3%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
December has been the strongest, averaging +5.6% and closing higher in 5 of 7 years since 2019.
It's the weakest, averaging −6.3% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
