Fund manager survey finds huge switch from cash to stocks

The allocation to global equities climbed 20 percentage points month on month to net 21% overweight, the highest level in one year. “Investors are experiencing Fomo—the fear of missing out—which has prompted a wave of optimism and jump in exposure to equities and cyclicals,” said Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at BAML.
