Ulli,
In spite of your skepticism regarding whether or not the market can hang on to recent gains, the trend for both US and International stocks has been very strong. Are you at liberty to say whether or not you are 100% invested yet? If not, what will it take to get you to a 100% equity position?
Personally, I am now 75% into equities, (US and International) but mentally I'm having difficulty investing my remaining 25% cash position, as this market has run up so far so fast.
Thanks,
Paul
Paul,
Yes, some clients are just about 100% invested while other are not. Those with predominately hedged positions have a larger exposure than those with outright longs.
