Fast Money Funds Ditch US Stocks For Safe Havens as Jitters Rise

The latest bout of volatility lashing US stocks has driven some quantitative investment managers completely out of equities and into less risky assets.

These funds use data and model-driven allocation to mechanically increase exposure during sustained uptrends and cutting risk when volatility rises or trends weaken.
