Why Are Active Bond Funds Considering Bitcoin Exposure? March 1, 2021
With interest rates low, managers of active fixed income funds are looking for ways to boost returns. Bitcoin could actually be part of that equation.
Bitcoin and other digital assets are considered alternative assets, meaning they’re unlikely to proliferate in significant fashion, but some managers may be nibbling at the largest cryptocurrency.
“At this point, nontraditional bond funds, which have the most latitude to take risks, are the most likely to incorporate some form of bitcoin exposure,” according to Morningstar. “In fact, BlackRock added prospectus language in January giving two of its mutual funds the flexibility to invest in bitcoin futures. That included nontraditional bond strategy BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities (BSIIX) as well as BlackRock Global Allocation (MALOX).”
Bitcoin has established a beachhead in traditional mutual fund portfolios. It’s small and likely to remain so for a while because it’s volatile, not like any other asset class. Even the cryptocurrency pioneers are tiptoeing into it, and not always just to capture its wild, eye-catching gains. Bitcoin’s off-the-charts volatility, covered in this article by Morningstar portfolio strategist Amy Arnott, makes it more likely to appear as a small part of some equity or alternatives funds. It’s unlikely to spread widely in fixed-income strategies: The data from Arnott’s piece notes that bitcoin has been 24 times as volatile as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index over the past three years.
