Smart Money

Pulse.

An approachable briefing. Where smart money is leaning, which markets are at historical extremes, what it means for your portfolio. Setups that matter: regime transitions, crowded trades, approaching pain levels. Translated into actionable context for investors who own ETFs and stocks, not futures.

► No jargon
► ETF-native framing
► 6-min briefing
► Fridays, 08:15 ET

II For Professionals · Institutional · Weekly

Liquidity
Trajectory.

The same positioning data, unfiltered. Measured dealer positioning, leveraged fund divergences, week-over-week flow changes, cost basis levels, seasonal adjustments, historical analogs, and concentration flags across equities, rates, and crypto.
