Market Risk: On The Decline

Overall Market Risk as indicated by the percent of equities currently in a SmartStops above normal risk state has declined significantly over the last 30 days.


As of Tuesday's close, only 38% of covered equities were in an above normal risk state.  This is down from 70% on August 27th but still above the low for the year we saw in April when only 24% of equities were in an above normal risk state. 


Percent In High Risk State

(Equities are considered to be in an above normal state of risk from the first SmartStops exit trigger in a series until a reentry trigger has been hit).

Don't Be Complacent!
