Citibank: Adding gold and Bitcoin to the 60/40 portfolio can improve portfolio efficiency

Abstract generation in progress
ME News Report, April 18 (UTC+8), Citibank Research pointed out that adding gold and Bitcoin to the traditional 60/40 stock and bond portfolio over the past 10 years can improve portfolio efficiency. Citibank states that allocating about 5% to gold alone can significantly improve performance; if this portion is split between gold and Bitcoin, returns are further enhanced, while risk does not increase significantly. Citibank analyst Alex Saunders said that this "Gold + Bitcoin" combination outperforms the traditional 60/40 portfolio in a strong bond environment and performs better in a "bear steep" environment. Citibank also mentioned that in the context of recent geopolitical conflicts and market volatility, Bitcoin's relative performance during periods of weak bond markets has sometimes surpassed gold: Bitcoin has risen about 9% in the past two months, while spot gold has fallen about 4%.

Long-term efficiency improvement is the core, and the Sharpe ratio should look better.

The 5% ratio is very conservative, suitable for cautious institutions testing the waters.
