Seasonality Chart of the Day from www.EquityClock.com iShares Core S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF (TSE:XIC.TO) Seasonal Chart Seasonal Chart Analysis Analysis of the iShares Core S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF (TSE:XIC.TO) seasonal charts above shows that a Buy Date of December 8 and a Sell Date of March 7 has resulted in a geometric average return of 2.66% above the benchmark rate of the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the past 20 years. This seasonal timeframe has shown positive results compared to the benchmark in 16 of those periods. This is a very good rate of success and the return strongly outperforms the relative buy-and-hold performance of the stock over the past 20 years by an average of 4.55% per year. Editor’s Note: Favourable seasonal influences are closely correlated with the period when individuals receive yearend bonuses and subsequently invest funds into tax efficient programs before the beginning of March (e.g. RRSPs TSFAs).
