This month, the top trades were led by the Smartshares US 500 ETF (NZX: USF), followed by NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB). It was an ETF-heavy month overall, with 9 of the top 20 trades consisting of ETFs. US tech stocks also dominated the rankings, with very little investment in local assets.

It should be noted that the assets in our trading snapshots are ordered by the number of Sharesight users trading that asset, while the size of the bars indicate the actual trade volume. So while there were more customers trading in NVDA, the volume of RKLB trades was higher, meaning that while there were fewer people trading in RKLB compared to NVDA, they made more trades.
