Investor cash holdings shrink to 3.7% as risk-taking rises - BoFA survey flags worry
According to the Bank of America November fund-manager survey, global investors have cut cash holdings to just 3.7%, triggering what the bank labels a “sell signal”. Equity and commodity allocations surged, but 63% of respondents believe markets are over-valued.
