$FIL — Investment Funds Are Going All-In on Stocks

Cash levels in U.S. equity mutual funds have dropped to just 1.2% of total assets — the lowest point in at least 20 years.

This dips below the February low of 1.3%, and even under the 1.5% level seen before the 2022 bear market began.

For perspective:

• During the 2008 Financial Crisis, mutual funds held around 5.3% in cash.

• Today’s levels are half of what funds held in 2023.

• Cash + liquid assets have fallen to $155B, nearing the lowest levels since the 2020 pandemic.

Mutual funds are deploying unprecedented amounts of cash into equities, signaling one of the most aggressive equity allocations in decades.
