JPMorgan advises investing 1% of investment portfolio In bitcoin

JPMorgan strategists are confident that investing 1% of a portfolio in cryptocurrencies is a smart measure to hedge the risks of the existing financial system.

“In a multi-asset portfolio, investors can likely add up to 1% of their allocation to cryptocurrencies in order to achieve any efficiency gain in the overall risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio,” analysts Joyce Chan and Amy Ho said.

The strategists of the American bank pointed out that the risks of investing in stocks, bonds and commodities are increasing, so BTC is excellent for hedging such risks. However, experts noted the rather high volatility of digital assets, advising investors to invest a small percentage of their portfolio in cryptocurrencies.
