Markets exhibit recurring seasonal patterns due to corporate cash flows, harvest cycles, tax seasons, and institutional portfolio rebalancing.
Our Seasonality Matrix calculates the monthly performance averages for every asset over 3, 5, 7, and 10-year lookbacks. A year-by-year heatmap immediately shows you if a month’s average is skewed by one outlier year or if it’s a consistent, reliable trend.
