In this episode Brooke Thackray, research analyst at Global X ETFs Canada, and advisor to the Global X Seasonal Rotation ETF (HAC), joins us to discuss seasonal investing trends across US and Canadian stocks and bonds. Thackray emphasizes the effectiveness of seasonality in fine-tuning the investment process with technicals and historical market patterns – just take a quick look at the chart for the ETF – confirmed. We also discuss the rotation aspect of the fund, the expectation, for example, of gold performing well in a strong upcoming seasonal period, and the anticipation of a weaker equity market over the next six months due to various factors. Thackray highlights the importance of relying on a long-term model and discipline for managing the investment process, and expects the seasonal framework to work even better over the next decade due to changes in market sectors.
