Usually refers to recommendation that leads an investor to increase their investment in a particular security or asset class. The increase is usually with respect to a benchmark. Suppose that U. S. Equities compose 40% of the benchmark portfolio. If one thinks the U. S. Will outperform, the investor may increase the exposure to U. S. Equity to more than 40%.
