JPMorgan Asset Management has included Bitcoin in its 2027 long-term investment assumptions, projecting a compound annual return of 10%, higher than the 7.5% return of US large-cap stocks, 9.8% of private equity, 7% of a 60/40 stock/bond portfolio, and 5.5% of gold. The estimated correlation between Bitcoin and US large-cap stocks is 33%.
JPMorgan Chase projects Bitcoin's annualized volatility at 55% and excludes it from its primary portfolio models due to its unstable correlation with other assets. JPMorgan describes Bitcoin's investment characteristics as a speculative asset and notes that its portfolio allocation role is related to monetary easing, with adoption, regulation, and liquidity all influencing its economic characteristics.
