By examining the headline numbers, August appeared to have seen somewhat of a return to more traditional consumption patterns (e.g. pre-Ukraine). However, it seemed to have been a red herring as the second half of the month saw a stark shift back to what we have seen most of the year: a strong focus on equity and fixed income volatility by advisors. Thus, take the rise in Practice Management consumption with a grain of salt, as the trend towards higher consumption in this area evaporated by the end of the month.

About Advisor Intent Indices
Advisor Intent Indices empower product distributors, recruiters, marketers, and data scientists with highly accurate first-party information on industry-level and advisor-level intent in near real-time. Co-developed by Discovery Data and AdvisorTarget, Advisor Intent Indices use a scoring model to compare advisors’ overall engagement with financial news to individual engagement, providing month-to-month trends for gauging changes in advisor interest. With a range from 0 (no interest) to 200 (overwhelming interest), the score indicates the level of interest on each topic the indices track.

Discovery Data’s website publicly tracks four Advisor Intent Indices on Practice Management, Commodities, Equities, and Bonds, and reports a monthly news summary on the changes. Clients can subscribe to Discovery Data’s Intent Trends to access Advisor Intent Indices on over 40 topics and subcategories. Custom topics are available upon request, and pre-qualified leads within each index can be delivered through Discovery Data’s Intent Signals.
