Retail investors’ recent outperformance versus market fades

Retail investors had outpaced the broader market by up to 10 percentage points during a two month stretch that ended recently.

MarketWatch reports that retail investors had been outperforming the broader market since May, but that streak has stopped.

According to MarketWatch’s summary, the prior run lasted about two months and during that period retail investors’ results were ahead of the broader market by as much as 10 percentage points.

The outlet’s account frames the shift as a clear reversal from the earlier outperformance window.
