(Reuters) -VS investors are becoming more and more uncomfortable about a Kelmmet on the stock market, asking for more investment advice, wonders if he should buy the dip and look for safer ports, strategists and power advisers.
Investor fears that the rates of Donald Trump will generate an economic decline, will be a sale in shares and wipe $ 4 trillion of the S&P 500’s Peak last month, a stunning reversal for Wall Street that was once dismissed by the president’s agenda.
That was feeding with any individual investor behavior.
“We see buying less and less dip than we have seen in a while, which tells us that people take a step back,” says Joe Mazzola, head trade and derivatives strategist at Charles Schwab.
The company started to crawl in the aversion of the store investment in mid -February, he said, because those with larger portfolios became net sellers.
Andrew Graham, managing partner of Jackson Square Capital, who manages money for prosperous and Hoognet worthy individuals and families, said that he built up cash in his customer accounts up to the highest in about five years, when the pandemic arose as a new threat to the economy.
Graham, who has discretion about managing his customers’ accounts, said that cash is now “more than 10%” of most of the portfolios of his customers. He still sells shares and builds cash for his customers.
Customers will now certainly appear for planned quarterly portfolio reviews with Graham and his team, he said.
“Dealed or nervous clients translate in a busier calendar for us than usual,” said Graham. However, it is that many investors can still regard the sale as a correction in contrast to a long -term decline.
Broadly speaking, the cash levels are high with assets at Geldmarktfonds on Record according to data from Investment Company Institute. The cash levels marched steadily last week and set a new record of $ 7.3 trillion, said Peter Crane of Crane Data, a company that follows market flows. That is at the beginning of 2025 compared to around $ 7.17 trillion, he said.
Certainly, not all retail investors are too worried. According to data from Vanda Research, from last week – the last period for which figures were available – Retail Investors remained net buyers of individual shares that have been market gifts, such as Palantir.
Even leverage with exchange -related funds that offer investors a multiple of an advantage of underlying shares or indexes are popular, said Marco Iachini, senior vice president at Vanda.
