BofA Poll Shows Investors Are Taking Risk at a Record Pace

Fund managers are rushing back into risky assets at a record pace on optimism over economic growth and strong corporate profits, according to a monthly survey by Bank of America Corp.

The share of investors taking a higher-than-normal risk level in their portfolios registered the biggest increase over a three-month span going back to 2001, the poll showed. It also pointed to strong increases in allocations to US and European stocks, as well as tech shares.
