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%.

In geopolitical conflicts, BTC is sometimes more resilient than gold, which is quite counterintuitive.

When the bond market is strong, it beats the 60/40—and it does even better in a bear market. This pairing has something to it.

The number 5% is interesting; it’s just the right balance between FOMO and stability.

Traditional institutions are finally starting to pay serious attention to BTC, and this report from Citigroup is quite straightforward.
