The study aims to examine the causal relationship between investor sentiment and financial investment instruments. Economic Confidence Index (EGE) representing investor sentiment, deposits, stocks, exchange rate (dollar/TL and Euro/TL), gold and government domestic debt securities (DIBS) real returns are used as financial investment instruments. Data cover the period 2007-2020 and are monthly frequency. Hacker and Hatemi-J (2012) according to bootstrap causality test findings, the EGE is only the cause of DIBS return. Based on this, it can be said that the EGE is not a leading indicator. Also, causal relationships are found from stock, exchange rate and DIBS returns to the EGE. In addition, the bootstrap causality test, which changes over time based on the rolling windows approach, is applied, based on the idea that there may be changes in causality relationships between variables during the data period. As a result of the evaluations, causal relations between the EGE and the returns of financial investment instruments arise during periods when confidence in the economy follows a negative view.
