But clearly it is not all types of hedge funds that are selling equities.

Having read the original note, Mary Ann Bartels states that macro hedge funds have been selling equities - not all hedge funds as your headline claims. Moreover, the BofA report is flawed because it is based on the Commitment of Traders reports from the CFTC. This report does not yet distinguish between prop desks, hedge funds and other non-commercial traders. The story is misleading.
