MarketVector Strengthens Leadership in Multi-Assets Strategies with the Launch of the MarketVector Crypto-Balanced Multi-Asset Index (TOPMDL)

FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MarketVector Indexes™ ("MarketVector"), a leading provider of digital asset and multi-asset index solutions, today introduced the MarketVector™ Crypto-Balanced Multi-Asset Index (TOPMDL). This benchmark helps investors navigate fiscal dominance and market volatility with enhanced diversification by modernizing the traditional 60/40 portfolio, integrating a 5% allocation to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Recent market conditions have highlighted the need for a more adaptive approach to portfolio construction. According to recent research from MarketVector, correlations between equities and bonds are at their highest, reducing the diversification benefits traditionally supporting a 60/40 strategy. Prolonged market volatility and changing interest rate dynamics have made experts question whether passive 60/40 investing can deliver optimal returns. By incorporating a small but meaningful allocation to digital assets, TOPMDL helps mitigate these challenges by introducing an asset class with a historically low correlation to both equities and bonds.

"The 60/40 strategy is no longer as effective in today's macroeconomic environment," said Martin Leinweber, Director of Digital Asset Research and Strategy at MarketVector. "With equities and bonds increasingly moving in tandem, investors need additional diversification tools. By integrating BTC and ETH, TOPMDL enhances risk-adjusted returns while maintaining stability. Even a modest 5% crypto allocation improves long-term returns while keeping risk manageable, making it a forward-looking solution for investors."

TOPMDL applies a 5% crypto allocation, sourced proportionally from global equities and bonds, to balance risk and reward while leveraging crypto's unique properties. A disciplined quarterly rebalancing process ensures the portfolio remains aligned with target weights, preventing overexposure to crypto's inherent fluctuations.

The launch of the MarketVector™ Crypto-Balanced Multi-Asset Index (TOPMDL) reinforces MarketVector's commitment to advancing index innovation and equipping investors with tools for modern financial markets.
