We’re more than halfway through July, and the AutoTracker activity is showing a real shift in strategy.

So far this month, 103 IFTs have been made by 85 different non-premium members. That means 18 members have already made two trades—a sign of active hands in a volatile environment.

When we combine all these IFTs and compare them to each member’s June allocation, here’s how the average changes stack up:

Average Allocation Change in July

(in percentage points)
G-fund: -2.8 pp
F-fund: -1.2 pp
C-fund: -0.5 pp
S-fund: +8.2 pp
I-fund: -2.6 pp

These shifts tell us that while AutoTracker members have moved in many directions, the standout trend has been a collective tilt toward the S-fund.

But that trend hasn’t held steady.

Let’s split the month into two periods—the first 8 trading days and the most recent 4—to see how sentiment has changed.

Average Allocation Change in First 8 trading days
(July 1 to July 11)

G-fund: -7.9 pp
F-fund: -3.3 pp
C-fund: +6.0 pp
S-fund: +9.2 pp
I-fund: -2.4 pp

In the first 8 days of July was a risk-on environment. Allocations flowed heavily into stocks, especially the S- and C-funds.

Average Allocation Change in last 4 trading days
(July 14 to July 17)

G-fund: +4.3 pp
F-fund: +4.4 pp
C-fund: -5.5 pp
S-fund: -1.2 pp
I-fund: -2.0 pp

This week, we’ve seen a risk-off pivot. Members pulled back from stocks—especially the C-fund—and moved into the G and F funds. Tuesday's action provoked the biggest shift: the average G-fund increase that day alone was +36.9 pp.

Today the S-fund price is set to increase 1%. In this short-term scope, Tuesday was a buying opportunity.
