Abstract

Global Institutional Investors are showing great interest to opportunities that derive from Alternative Assets. This trend is further accelerated by hope of improving their portfolios™ returns while also diversifying their assets. At the global macro level, virtually all asset classes and investment strategies are cyclical in their return profiles, meaning they simply work better at some times than at others, depending on a bundle of macro factors including interest rates, GDP growth, central bank interventions and other geopolitical factors. The purpose of this paper is to identify assets allocations within the Alternative Assets spectrum as a basis for providing clarity to macroeconomic factors that influence digital assets pricing.
