For investors with a strong interest in thematic innovation and comfort with elevated volatility, a modest allocation of 1% to 4% in digital assets could be appropriate,” Chris Hyzy, Bank of America Private Bank’s chief investment officer, reportedly said in a statement. This statement doesn't make sense to me. All investors want their investment to increase in value. That's it. The investor's personal interests ("a strong interest in thematic innovation and comfort with elevated volatility") shouldn't be a factor in investment decisions. It's like, I have a strong personal interest in thematic innovation in energy, therefore I should buy Enron? No. It went bust. Who cares about my interest in energy innovation? All that matters is is the investment going to increase in value. The other stuff is fluff. For investors that outsource their decision making to banks like BofA, the work of BofA is to make those investments increase in value, regardless of the client's interests.
