BlackRock Investment Institute said it remains overweight on US and Japanese equities, citing support from artificial intelligence, corporate earnings strength and structural reforms.

In its latest weekly commentary, the firm says traditional static asset allocation “no longer suffices” in a world shaped by mega forces such as digital disruption, geopolitical fragmentation and demographic divergence, favoring instead a scenario-based approach to portfolio construction.

“We see the AI theme supported by strong earnings, resilient profit margins and healthy balance sheets at large listed tech companies. Continued Fed easing into 2026 and reduced policy uncertainty underpin our overweight to U.S. equities.”

The firm is also overweight Japan.

“We like Japanese equities on strong nominal growth and corporate governance reforms… We are overweight. Strong nominal GDP, healthy corporate capex and governance reforms – such as the decline of cross-shareholdings – all support equities.”

BlackRock added that it remains selective in Europe, “favoring financials, utilities and healthcare.”

In fixed income, BlackRock said, “we prefer EM due to improved economic resilience and disciplined fiscal and monetary policy.”

The institute reiterated that investors should revisit key portfolio decisions more frequently as long-term economic outcomes grow more uncertain.

Overall, BlackRock Investment Institute signaled conviction in U.S. and Japanese equities while urging investors to adopt a more dynamic, scenario-based approach as mega forces reshape global markets.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
