Bitcoin is the best performing asset on the planet across the last ten years. Modern Portfolio Theory suggests that by allocating 5% of an investment portfolio to Bitcoin, investors could generate outsized returns without taking on high levels of risk. Jack Tatar, an investor, advisor, and author talks about crypto assets as an investment class and reflects on the impact of the book he co-authored - Crypto Assets, the Innovative Investor’s Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond. 

Key Takeaway:

Modern Portfolio Theory suggests that an investment portfolio should allocate 5% towards high-risk, high-return assets such as Bitcoin. Investors can reduce overall risk while maximizing return by holding a diversified portfolio of non-correlated assets.
