The Riskalyze Report: How Advisors Handled Brexit

1. International Bonds (BWX)
2. Gold (GLD)
3. Intermediate US Gov Bonds (IEF)

Losers (advisor flows FROM these investments increased substantially):

1. Silver (SLV)
2. High Yield Bond (BHYIX)
3. Financials (XLF)

Josh here – some intel about what advisors were up to last week on Brexit eve (and Friday, after). via Riskalyze CIO Mike McDaniel:

“Advisor use of International Bonds via BWX rose over 20% week over week. That’s not a typo.” Somebody put on a big trade…

You also see IEF on the board – this is the 7-10 year Treasury ETF that investors sometimes use as a risk-off proxy position.

“Gold on the winners list and silver on the losers list. Advisor use of SLV week over week decreased by over 20% while advisor use of gold rose by over 4% week over week.”

And how about junk bonds and financials on the big losers list? I can’t say whether or not that was before or after the news Thursday night.
