๐Ÿ“Š BofA Fund Manager Survey Bots

Two bots trade monthly based on Bank of America's Global Fund Manager Survey. Each bot gets R25,000/month. Trades on the third Wednesday, one week after SA press coverage.

๐Ÿค– How the bots work

Going with the Herd โ€” reads the BofA survey consensus and follows the crowd. If fund managers are overweight commodities and banks, the Herd buys JSE-listed commodity and banking stocks.

The Contrarian โ€” does the opposite. Buys sectors fund managers are underweight (REITs when everyone hates property, bonds-proxy stocks when bonds are hated). Looks for value where others see risk. No stupid trades โ€” just unpopular ones.

Data source: Survey themes reconstructed from SA press coverage (Moneyweb, BusinessTech, Daily Investor). Mapping to JSE tickers is deterministic โ€” global theme โ†’ local sector โ†’ specific JSE stocks.
