Advisor Intent Trends
May 2022
Discovery Data Advisor Intent Indices are the leading measure of financial advisor buying intent, tracking changes in advisor interest on specific industry topics over time.
In May, advisors continued to focus on the bear market trend from April, rising inflation, and the possibility of a recession. Many of the same reading trends continued, with equities and fixed income continuing the strong trend they have had for several months. Practice management had a small increase but is still at a significantly lower levels than prior to the invasion of Ukraine.
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.
