Buybacks are Back
Sources: The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg
Retail investors have bought over $5 billion of leveraged equity ETFs in the last 12 months, the most since 2022.
This marks a $3 billion increase on a 1-month rolling sum basis in just a few months. Since the October 2023 low, retail investors have been piling into leveraged ETFs. However, a similar pattern was seen in 2021 and early 2022 after which retail experienced significant losses. The average retail investor portfolio drawdown from the 2022 peak was 35% and took 1.5 years to recover. Retail risk appetite is near record highs. Source: FT, The Kobeissi Letter

Great observation by Dr. Michael Stamos, CFA - Head of Global Research & Development of Global Multi Asset Department at Allianz Global Investors
-> "On days when bonds were up, stocks tended to go up as well. When bonds fell, stocks managed to stay at least flat. Overall it was a pretty nice environment for equity investors. Lets hope this doesn't turn into a high-correlation-when-markets-are-down type of environment".
