Investor exposure to US stocks jumped to the highest since 2013 after the presidential election, on optimism around stronger economic growth, according to a survey from Bank of America Corp.

The poll — which canvassed fund managers with $503 billion in assets — ran from Nov. 1 to Nov. 7. About 22% of participants responded after the election results on Nov. 6 and showed a “surge in bulls,” strategist Michael Hartnett wrote in a note.
