Traditional 60-40 portfolio faces scrutiny

Jeroen Blokland discusses the longstanding 60-40 investment portfolio model in Dutch financial newspaper FD. For decades, a mix of 60 percent equities and 40 percent bonds was considered almost standard.

Blokland points out that more investors are now questioning whether such a traditional approach still matches today’s risk environment.

Blokland has previously commented on shifts in major reserve assets, noting in one report that gold may have overtaken U.S. Treasuries as the largest central bank reserve asset. He also observed that the Japanese yen lost about half of its intervention gains. These observations detail Blokland’s focus on changing trends in global financial markets.
