Crypto is a young, highly volatile category — it can rise and fall sharply in short periods. If it appears here at all, it is only as a very small, optional slice, and only for profiles with a long horizon and a solid financial base.
Its role in a portfolio
Crypto role is strictly optional and small. Its sharp swings sit better with a long horizon and a solid financial base, which is why it is left out of cautious profiles entirely.
Which profiles lean into it
Only balanced, growth and aggressive-growth profiles may include a small, optional crypto slice; preservation and balanced-income profiles leave it out.
