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 steepening" 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%.

During a weak bond market period, BTC outperformed gold; this observation is very subtle.

Long-term efficiency improvements are very attractive to long-term funds like pension funds.

In geopolitical conflicts, BTC is sometimes even more resilient than gold. I didn't expect this conclusion.

Bitcoin has increased by 9% in the past two months, while gold has decreased by 4%. This volatility comparison is very accurate.

When the bond market is strong, it outperforms the benchmark; even in a bear market, it can hold its own. This combination has some substance.

A 5% allocation to gold can significantly improve the situation, so wouldn't adding Bitcoin be even more attractive?
