Institutional investors are extremely bullish on US stocks:
Last week, hedge funds recorded their largest weekly purchases of US equities since November 2025.
This was primarily led by short covering rather than outright long purchases.
This also marks the 4th consecutive weekly purchase.
As a result, the information technology sector now accounts for ~22% of total US hedge fund equity exposure, near the highest in 5 years.
This percentage has surged +6 points since January, significantly outpacing the increase following the 2022 bear market recovery.
Hedge funds are benefiting from the tech rally.
