Following the U.S. presidential election, hedge funds are adding risk to their portfolios, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital said Monday on CNBC.
"More risk is being taken right now," he said on "Fast Money."
Beta adjustment is also going on, Scaramucci added.
"We also believe, the consensus is that the 'fiscal cliff' situation will get resolved, which sets up pretty nicely for next year, and there might be a touch more better-than-expected economic growth next year.
"And so, I think you'll see more hedge funds migrating into equities. We're certainly seeing that on the margin," he said. "I would say risk-on."
The so-called fiscal cliff would trigger automatic federal spending cuts and see the expiration of the Bush tax cuts if Washington lawmakers fail to approve a budget.
So where are funds flowing?

"On the margin, it's still looks like it's going into high-yield and the mortgage-backed market on the margin," Scaramucci said. "We are seeing some people start to think about Europe and European distress, particularly on the corporate debt side. And that's why I think the equities are actually going to surprise people, because flows are still going fixed-income directionally, and so all you need is a little bit incremental more demand on the equities side to see the valuations go up."
