In this Wednesday edition of Advisors in Focus, our focus turns to tickers and groups that saw surging interest from your financial advisor colleagues to start the week. While we often highlight the most-read areas of the market over a set timeframe, today we look at the tickers and groups that have seen the highest percentage spike from the prior week, which helps us understand what is trending comparatively. For example, within the ETF category group, TrackStarIQ data shows that the highest ranking areas are outside of the United States: foreign large cap, emerging markets, Asia-Pacific, and China equities. Spiking interest in overseas markets tells us that financial advisors are actively seeking ETFs with exposure to international markets and perhaps making some asset allocation shifts ahead of the U.S. Presidential elections in a few weeks.

Please find below the complete listing of other stocks, exchange traded funds, industry groups, and ETF categories that saw the highest growth this week versus the previous week.
