Bank of America clients have been buying U.S. equities lately, even as the stock market fell, contributing “big” inflows into exchange-traded funds last week, according to BofA Global Research.
The strategists described the ETF equity inflows, as “big” and “broad-based,” with BofA clients buying exchange-traded funds that invest across styles including growth, value and “blend.” They also bought ETFs across size segments except for funds focused on small-cap stocks. Still, so far this year equity ETFs have seen net buying from BofA clients in nearly all sectors except for healthcare and industrials, the research note says.
Last week, institutional clients — a category that includes investors such as mutual funds, pensions, insurance companies, banks and broker-dealers — led overall net buying of U.S. equities, the BofA strategists said. Beyond that category, “hedge funds were buyers after selling the prior two weeks, while private clients were sellers after buying the prior week,” they said.
