Over the past year Bitcoin and Gold have enjoyed similar returns. Whenever that happens, BOLD moves slightly ahead of both assets held, which demonstrated the added value from monthly rebalancing transactions.
To get the index back in to line with the target weights, this required a 1.9% addition to Bitcoin and a 1.9% reduction in Gold, due to price changes over the month.
In March, BOLD rose by 6.1%, Bitcoin fell by 2.1%, and Gold rose by 9.3%, while global equities fell by 4.7% in USD terms.
The target weights last month were 25.5% and 74.5% (Bitcoin to Gold). Price changes over the month led to the last day’s weights at 23.8% Bitcoin and 76.2% Gold. This means the latest rebalancing has seen 1.9% added to Bitcoin and reduced from Gold to meet the new target weights.
