These new series relate to the data package SNPB (sentix Preferences & behavior) or Complete.

SNTWZEI0 - Bond position risk index Euro area (Z-Score) - Institutionals
SNTWZUI0 - Bond position risk index US (Z-Score) - Institutionals

SNTAZAH0 - Equity position risk index Euro area (Z-Score) - Headline index
SNTAZAI0 - Equity position risk index Euro area (Z-Score) - Institutional investors
SNTAZAP0 - Equity position risk index Euro area (Z-Score) - Individual investors

These indicators are also available in the graph tool for active participants in the survey.
