Asset Allocation, Portfolio Analysis and Cryptoassets, speaker, Jack Tatar

Once again, Bitcoin in 2019 has been the best performing asset of the year. As an investable asset that now has over a ten year track record, there’s no longer any rejection of the asset as a Ponzi scheme or comparison to the Tulip craze of the past. However, even with its stellar performance, investors are challenged on how to effectively position it into their own investment portfolios. The reality is that with any portfolio construction, the time tested methods of Modern Portfolio Theory, proper asset allocation and risk/reward analysis must be considered for any investor, regardless of the assets considered. Jack Tatar, who has spent three decades in financial services, coauthored “Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor’s Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond” by considering cryptoassets such as bitcoin as investment vehicles in the context of these portfolio analysis methods. In this session, Jack revisits his views expressed in the book that bitcoin and other cryptoassets should be consider.
