\u00a9 Reuters Long-only funds are shifting more defensive – Bank of America<\/span>
\n<\/i>\n<\/div>\n

According to Bank of America quant strategists, long-only funds are being more defensive in their positioning.<\/p>\n

It could be that they are awaiting further evidence of a globally synchronized economic upturn before increasing exposure to cyclical sectors. This shift reflects a cautious approach in response to the market conditions observed in August, when global stocks fell 3%.<\/p>\n

During this period, long-only funds adjusted their equity exposure by reducing it by a total of $21.3 billion relative to benchmark allocations, according to BofA\u2019s data.<\/p>\n

Notably, the funds decreased exposure to the U.S. by $4.5 billion, Europe by $17.0 billion, and Japan by $4.7 billion. In contrast, the exposure to Asian markets was added, increasing it by $5.8 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the month, long-only funds largest changes to active stock exposures were US funds adding Apple and cutting Kenvue, Europe funds adding Novo Nordisk and cutting Adyen, and Japan funds adding Sumitomo Mitsui and cutting Toyota,\u201d strategists wrote in a note.<\/p>\n

A significant shift towards defensive sectors was observed, with funds increasing their active exposure to Health Care by $9.7 billion and Utilities by $7.9 billion. Conversely, they reduced active exposure to the Industrials sector by $12.8 billion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
