Foolish Take
DuPont Capital's decision to sell about $2.8 million worth of Bank of America shares looks like typical profit-taking. Here's why.
For starters, DuPont Capital chose to reduce its position in Bank of America by only about 16%. That indicates that the portfolio managers still rate Bank of America, as they could have reduced the position much further or closed it out entirely. Instead, Bank of America stock still makes up 1.56% of assets under management, making it the firm's 14th-largest holding out of a total of 109 stock positions.
Second, Bank of America stock has performed well recently. Year-to-date, shares have generated a total return of 20%. The S&P 500, by contrast, has generated a total return of 16%. Therefore, it is logical for DuPont Capital to trim some exposure to Bank of America simply as an act of sound portfolio management.
In summary, retail investors may want to take this stock sale with a big grain of salt. Bank of America has performed well recently, and this transaction looks more like a re-balancing move rather than a change in conviction by the portfolio managers.
