  • Foreign investors reallocating money away from the U.S. could fuel a $1 trillion sell order on U.S. equities, a UBS strategist said Friday.

The article from MSN Money discusses a potential shift of up to $1 trillion away from U.S. stocks, driven by changes in global investment strategies rather than actions by American investors. This shift is influenced by several factors including the rebalancing of global equity benchmarks, where the U.S. market's weight has decreased due to its underperformance relative to other markets like Japan and Europe. The MSCI All-Country World Index, for instance, has seen a reduction in U.S. stock weight from 61.5% to 60.6% over the past year. This rebalancing means that funds tracking these indices must sell U.S. stocks to buy into better-performing markets. Additionally, the article mentions that foreign investors, particularly from Asia, are increasingly looking at opportunities outside the U.S., influenced by factors like currency movements, geopolitical tensions, and the search for yield in a low-interest-rate environment. This trend could continue as long as U.S. stocks do not significantly outperform other global markets, potentially leading to a sustained capital outflow from U.S. equities.
