Strategy

The strategy is simple, equal weight the top 10 crypto-assets by market cap and rebalance monthly. By following this process you are guaranteeing that you will always follow market sentiment and own the most valuable crypto-assets.

At the same time, you are preventing a substantial loss from investing all of your capital in a single project.

Don’t be fooled, by crypto analysts claiming that they have found the next bitcoin, it most likely doesn’t exist, and if it does - you are probably too late to the party. Remember, investing in crypto-assets is still very risky, buyer beware.

While the market is sure to change over the next year I strongly believe investors and market speculators can profit in this market by taking a smart and diligent approach to their investing process.

Allocation

Now let’s take a look at the current portfolio allocation. I started with a simple $1,000 USD investment as an experiment. It is important to note that any sum can be used as long as the allocation is equally weighted i.e. each position has the same nominal value when initiated.

As you can see, the short-term results of the portfolio are heavily weighted towards the time at which the portfolio was constructed. In my opinion, if an investor is interested in investing in crypto-assets with this approach they should not monitor the portfolio on a daily basis.

Instead, view this as a long-term investment and limit your emotional reactions to the market volatility. I have found the best way to do this is to leave my investments alone and check in on them at most once per week.

I will be updating this portfolio on a monthly basis and the next update should be on February 18, 2018.
