Digital assets are an entirely new asset class, created through a combination of computer science, cryptography, economics, and network theory. As they transform our global financial infrastructure and challenge modern monetary theory, we believe digital assets are one of the most exciting investment opportunities of the 21st century.

To back our claim, we first stress test our hypothesis that digital assets fit squarely within Modern Portfolio Theory, a time-tested and proven approach that many investors currently use to build more efficient portfolios. We then demonstrate why we view digital assets as a brand new asset class that can enhance strategic asset allocation and help investors build portfolios with higher risk-adjusted returns.

We hope that through our analytical framework, investors can determine the optimal digital asset allocation within their own portfolios.
