Throwing an idea out there... I feel like mom & pop investors typically withdraw funds from traditional asset managers that hold the majority of AUM in mutual funds when market volatility/fear is high.
Would deriving a correlation coefficient between VIX and average AUM flow of funds be a feasible way of testing this?
Are there better methods of gauging market sentiment than the VIX?
