Shinhan Securities Questions 60/40 Portfolio Strategy, Suggests Digital Assets

Finance · Investment Banks/Brokers · yonhap_finance · 2026-09-08

Shinhan Securities argues that the traditional 60/40 stock-bond allocation is failing and recommends incorporating digital assets and alternatives.

What Happened

Portfolio Strategy Shift: Shinhan Securities has noted that the traditional '60/40' stock-bond allocation strategy is losing its effectiveness as the two asset classes increasingly move in tandem. The firm suggests diversifying portfolios by adding 8% in alternative assets and 2% in digital assets to lower overall correlation.

Role of Digital Assets: Researcher Park Woo-yeol emphasized the benefit of including digital assets, citing that an 8:2 ratio of gold to Bitcoin has historically provided superior risk-adjusted returns. He also highlighted the intensifying competition between traditional financial platforms and cryptocurrency exchanges.

Market Environment: The firm pointed out that the global ETF landscape is evolving rapidly, with Nasdaq moving toward 24-hour trading. Cryptocurrency exchanges offer a unique advantage by operating on weekends, allowing investors to react to geopolitical events that occur outside of traditional market hours.

Investment Outlook: The firm observed that trading volume in single-stock leveraged ETFs has significantly declined, suggesting a potential cooling of market volatility. For current investment strategies, they favor the Dow Jones Dividend Index, which offers exposure to stable sectors like energy and healthcare.
