INSIGHT

We're Not In A Crack-Up Boom Yet

  • A crack-up boom means zero demand for money and rapid dumping of currency into assets, which the U.S. is not yet experiencing.
  • Chris Casey says inflation would need to be extremely high (CPI in double digits) before that phase occurs here.
ADVICE

Don't Rely Blindly On 60/40 Portfolios

  • The classic 60/40 can fail when government intervention distorts stock and bond markets, so consider alternatives in those environments.
  • Keep using modern portfolio thinking and adapt allocations to economic regime changes rather than assume 60/40 is permanent.
ADVICE

Consider Alternatives Based On Your Risk Stage

  • Allocate to alternatives according to risk tolerance; they can range from 5% to over 50% of a portfolio depending on the client.
  • Consider inflation hedges and income-producing alternatives before assuming mainstream stocks and bonds suffice.
