Fund manager cash levels drop, triggering sell signal in latest Bank of America survey
The last three months witnessed the biggest spike on record for risk appetite, according to Bank of America’s global fund manager survey for July released Tuesday.
Cash levels dropped to 3.9% from 4.2%, triggering a sell signal on BofA’s proprietary trading model. This is the second sell signal prompted in the last week by BofA trading rules, after inflows to global equity and high-yield bonds exceeded 1% of assets under management over a four-week period.
Back in mid 2008, that same yield peaked around 1.7% just before the global financial crisis unraveled.

JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon is spearheading a pivot for his institution, even as he voices fears about the boom in unregulated, private lending.
Dimon, who is considered the most successful banker in generations, previously compared the practice to the subprime mortgage fad which sparked the 2008 global financial crisis and laid waste to millions of Americans’ livelihoods.
Banks issued high-risk home loans to borrowers with poor credit histories, and when the initial low interest rates finally spiked, borrowers found themselves unable to pay their mortgages, triggering the collapse of the US housing market.
Dimon cited the mistakes bankers made which led to ‘everything’ blowing up and triggered tough banking regulations.
‘Parts of direct lending are good, but not everyone does a great job. That’s what causes problems with financial products,’ he told clients in Miami in February.
Dimon warned the private lending trend – now worth a whopping $700billion – is a similar craze and there ‘could be hell to pay’ if the market ultimately falters.
