NEW YORK (Reuters) – Retail investors bought roughly $7 billion of equities last week, showing a near record appetite for shares since 2016, while U.S. hedge funds trimmed their exposure to global equities, Morgan Stanley <\/span><\/span> (NYSE:) said in a note to institutional investors seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street bank said retail investors net bought mainly exchanged traded funds (ETF), although individuals also added shares across sectors except for communications, consumer staples and utilities. <\/p>\n

Still, retail appetite year-to-date through July 7 was down 60% when compared to the first six months of the years between 2016 and 2022. Individuals net bought $80 billion in equities so far this year.<\/p>\n

Contrary to retail, U.S.-based long\/short hedge funds reduced their exposure to global equities last week. Their so-called gross leverage, which adds up hedge funds’ bets on the rise and fall of shares, fell 2% compared to the previous week, according to Morgan Stanley.<\/p>\n

Hedge funds mostly cut their long exposure to the pharmaceutical sector and to Asia ex-Japan, while they added some consumer-related sectors and Japanese shares to their portfolio, the bank added.<\/p>\n

The bank tracks hedge funds it has as clients of its prime brokerage to show how they positioned during the week. Morgan Stanley estimated U.S. long\/short hedge funds went down roughly 1% last week through Thursday.<\/p>\n

Last week, the fell 1.2%, the Dow Jones went down 2% and the Nasdaq fell 0.9%. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
