According to The Kobeissi Letter, hedge funds recorded net buying of $4.8 billion in U.S. equities last week, the second-largest weekly total since 2008. As a share of the S&P 500's total market capitalization, the buying ranks 24th all-time. During the same week, institutional investors posted net selling of $3.8 billion, ending a four-week run of net buying; their average weekly net buying over the past four weeks dropped to $3.9 billion. Retail investors likewise moved to a small net sell of $200 million, with their four-week average falling to $600 million. The data, published by ChainCatcher, indicates hedge funds are again buying U.S. stocks aggressively. It also shows a clear split between hedge funds on the buy side and institutions plus retail traders on the sell side. The Kobeissi Letter highlighted that hedge funds are re-entering the market with large-scale purchases. The latest weekly flows offer a snapshot of positioning among three investor groups and follow four consecutive weeks of net buying by institutions, a streak that has now been broken.
U.S. equities saw fresh demand from hedge funds last week, with net buying reaching $4.8 billion, according to The Kobeissi Letter. That marks the group's second-largest weekly purchase total since 2008. Measured against the S&P 500's total market cap, last week's buying ranks 24th in history.
Institutions took the opposite side. They sold a net $3.8 billion, snapping four straight weeks of net buying. Their four-week average net buying declined to $3.9 billion. Retail investors also trimmed, registering a modest net outflow of $200 million, which brought their four-week average net buying down to $600 million.
The Kobeissi Letter said hedge funds are once again buying U.S. stocks on a large scale. ChainCatcher carried the update, showing a clear divergence: hedge funds bought in size while institutions and retail investors pulled back.
