Understanding seasonality in financial markets requires recognizing how predictable return patterns can be influenced by investor behavior. One underexplored aspect of this is the impact of front-running—where traders anticipate seasonal trends and act early, shifting returns forward in time. We have already explored seasonality front-running in commodities, stock sectors, and crisis hedge portfolios. Our new research examines whether this phenomenon extends to country ETFs, an asset class where seasonality has been less studied. By applying a front-running strategy to a dataset of country ETFs, we identify opportunities to capitalize on seasonal effects before they fully materialize. Our findings indicate that pre-seasonality drift is strongest in commodities but remains present in country ETFs, offering a potential edge in portfolio construction. Ultimately, our study highlights how front-running seasonality can enhance ETF investing, providing an additional layer of market timing beyond traditional trend-following approaches.
