🎙️ About This Episode

Jeroen Blokland, founder of the Blokland Smart Multi-Asset Fund and author of The Great Rebalancing, joins Scarce Assets to explain why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is broken—and what replaces it. With 20+ years building multi-asset portfolios, Jeroen left traditional finance to launch a fund focused on scarce assets: quality stocks, physical gold, and directly-held Bitcoin. We discuss why bonds have delivered negative real returns for two decades, how gold at $5,000 still isn't enough to rebalance the system, the mechanics of financial repression, why owning assets outside the system matters more than ever, and how $124 trillion in generational wealth transfer will reshape portfolios. The conversation also covers Bitcoin's coming catalyst and the AI investment bubble Jeroen sees forming.

Scarce Assets: a biweekly podcast presented by Onramp which delves into the emergent role of bitcoin in finance professionals' strategies and outlooks. Hosted by Jackson Mikalic, Scarce Assets provides invaluable insights for wealth managers aiming to outperform their peers in the decades ahead. Finance professionals everywhere know about stocks and bonds, but the macroeconomic outlook requires that serious investors pay close attention to another category: Scarce Assets.
