With the Fed cutting rates and China blasting stimulus, investors are looking to hedge currency risk. Should they buy bitcoin or gold? The short answer is: What do you want: more return or less risk?
(*NOTHING HERE IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. DO YOUR OWN DUE DILLIGENCE*)
According to the simulation in the memo, a 2.5% allocation to bitcoin would have boosted the portfolio’s return 50 percentage points, from 98% to 148%, while the standard deviation would have risen just 33 bps.
Contrast that with what happens when you replace bitcoin with gold.¹
As the table shows, there is almost no effect on return: Over the full 10+ years of the study, a 2.5% allocation to gold would have boosted the portfolio returns by just 1%! Where gold does have an impact, however, is on the volatility side (see the Standard Deviation column again), which falls as you add more and more gold to the mix.
