How to find a mutual fund is moving into cash or not?

A recent article said "Investors how have done the best in the long run were those who focused on preserving capital in bad markets." And, some mutual funds advertise that they are willing to move heavily into cash when the downturn started, helped cushion the blow of the bear market. Question: how can we find out this information daily/weekly? Yahoo finance may be able to tell us the % of cash in the portfolio, but it does not give daily/weekly/monthly update. It only updates at most quarterly, isn't it? It is greatly appreciated if someone can point out a website/resource that shows this kind of information. Thanks.

In general you can't find out that info. I recall one fund manager mentioned that he was going to give frequent updates on portfolio positions. However I don't remember who it was.





Since most fund managers fail to beat the indexes over time, the truth is it does not matter what they are doing. But the index funds for bullish positions, buy the double inverse Rydex or Profunds when in bear mode.
