How to Read This Data

Average Return is the mean percentage change from the first trading day to the last trading day of each calendar month, averaged across 14 years.

Win Rate shows how often NWSA finished the month with a positive return. A 75% win rate means NWSA gained value in that month 3 out of every 4 years.

Median Return is the middle value when all yearly returns for that month are sorted. Unlike the average, the median is not skewed by extreme outliers.

Seasonal patterns are historical tendencies, not guarantees. Past performance does not predict future results. Use this data as one input alongside your own research.
