July was a great month for markets and advisors were at ease. Both bonds and equities saw solid gains in reading interest, but the real star of the month was the return of practice management and recruiting as top focus areas. Recruiting saw its highest mindshare in over two years, while practice management was at its highest share since October 2022.

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.
