Gate News message: On April 7, the U.S. financial giant Charles Schwab released a research bulletin warning that even if only 1%-3% of funds are allocated to Bitcoin or Ethereum within an investment portfolio, it may significantly change the portfolio’s overall risk characteristics. The research report notes that Bitcoin and Ethereum have both historically experienced drawdowns of more than 70%, far higher than the volatility levels of stocks or bonds; therefore, even small allocations can have a noticeable impact during periods of market volatility. Charles Schwab proposed two cryptocurrency allocation approaches: one is the traditional portfolio theory method, which allocates based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation; the other is a risk-based method, which determines the share of crypto assets according to the level of risk one is willing to take, shifting the focus from returns to risk tolerance.
