Sell in May? U.S. Large-Cap Equity Market Has Been Positive in May Through October 70% of the Last 20 Years, According to Russell U.S. Indexes. U.S. Small Caps Also Positive More Than Half the Time, but Not as Strong as Large Caps
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/14/15 -- Russell Indexes analyzed the old investment adage "sell in May and go away" and found that, when viewed through the lens of the U.S. equity markets, the adage may not always apply.
The U.S. large cap Russell 1000® Index had a positive return in 14 of the last 20 years, and is up 3.1% in the month of May as of May 12. The U.S. large cap Russell 2000 Index has not fared quite as well as the Russell 1000, but has been positive in eleven of the last 20 May through October periods.
