Global funds buy into Europe and Asia

In the three months to December 2006, our survey participants lifted their average weightings in Europe from 24.7% to 26.0% and topped up their Asian holdings to a decade-high of 7.5%.

But demand for Japanese shares waned again although most managers are still just above the neutral benchmark of 9.3%. Weightings in Continental Europe edged slightly higher with many funds switching money out of the U.K. and into Euro currency markets.

As in past surveys, roughly two-thirds of the managers in our poll are negative on the U.S. stock market, especially the European-based funds who always seem to take a bearish view.
