Excess Returns Constructing a Crypto Index with Jeremy Schwartz and Michael Batnick
Many crypto investors tend to build their own portfolios and focus on the major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. But the crypto space is much more than that. Trying to get diversified exposure to crypto can be challenging, though. In this episode we talk to WisdomTree Global CIO Jeremy Schwartz and Ritholtz Wealth Director of Research Michael Batnick about the New Crypto Index they developed to help investors gain broad exposure to the space. We take in deep dive into the index construction process including the major categories of coins represented, the process of combining them together and the challenges of building a rebalancing strategy within the rapidly changing world of crypto.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.
