Understanding Risk in Your Cryptocurrency Portfolio

What we often see from Crypto investors:

• Comparative returns from the last highs and lows in the market represented a variance in portfolio 10x higher than the client intended
• There is no adequate exit strategy in place, when the clients dream outcomewas realized, no return was crystalised

At Caleb and Brown, a key part of our service is to ensure our clients are equipped with the knowledge to make the best, informed cryptocurrency investment decisions. To bridge this gap, our team of specialised analysts are made accessible to all of our clients. In this, we are able to provide value by alerting clients of their asset performance and inherent risk in their portfolio balance.

In this article we will outline an example portfolio risk assessment...

Over time, we have found that the average investortends to overlook the inherent risks they are taking in their chosen portfolio.Understanding your relationship with risk and balancing your portfolio accordingly is an integral part of successful investing, cryptocurrency or otherwise.

In general, the more risk, the more upside potential. However at the same time,the higher chance of loss

Isaac, a new client of Caleb and Brown, approached us to conduct a risk assessment on his $225,000 cryptocurrency portfolio.

First, we established Isaac's existing strategy and what he envisioned for his portfolio. Like many other crypto investors, Isaacwas attracted to the prospect of high returns, his existing expectations were aligned with his dream outcome۪. We noticedIsaac'sposition was too exposed in especially high risk projects, which meant his potential upside was higher, but also the risk he was takingwas greater. Isaac was risking more than he needed to.

In reality, the dream outcome۪ is an ambitious goal, but it can be realised with the appropriate portfolio. It was not necessary for Isaac to be so exposed to historically volatile projects (past performance does not necessarily indicate future performance) to achieve his goals.

Through consultation with his brokerand other Caleb and Brown analysts we were able to assist him with a portfolio restructure, effectively increasing the likelihood of Isaac reaching his desired results.

The risk review process covers a number of factors, including concentration, market risk, risk deviation and liquidity risk.

"Clients are often unaware of market liquidity constraints. Small capitalization tokens can often see 20-30% below market prices when trying to liquidate large volumes. A diversified portfolio can reduce your exposure to this risk"
