1223 GMT - Fund managers are betting more heavily on European healthcare and banking than any other sectors this month, according to Bank of America's survey of investors. Healthcare displaces technology at the top of the survey's consensus overweight ranking for February. Fund managers retain a net bullish position on technology after the sector was most favored in January, though managers have trimmed their exposure amid a broad software selloff so far this month. Technology is viewed as the most overvalued sector in Europe. Autos are the most neglected stocks on the continent, with close to 60% of fund managers surveyed choosing to allocate less money to the sector than the benchmark. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
