#FOMCMeeting
Alright, let’s sketch out a sample portfolio shift that reflects a more cautious stance given the Fed’s higher-for-longer approach.
Before (Rate Cut Hopes Priced In – Aggressive Tilt):
- Crypto (BTC, ETH, alts) – 30%
- Growth Stocks (tech, innovation, speculative names) – 30%
- Quality Equities (blue chips, dividend payers) – 20%
- Bonds (long duration) – 10%
- Cash/Cash Equivalents – 10%
After (Fed Holding Steady – More Defensive Tilt):
- Crypto (BTC/ETH heavy, less altcoin exposure) – 20–22%
- Growth Stocks – 20–22%
- Quality Equities (dividend stocks, value names) – 30–35%
- Bonds (shorter duration, investment-grade) – 15–18%
- Cash/Cash Equivalents (4–5% yields are attractive) – 10–15%
Why These Shifts?
- Crypto trim: Still worth holding, especially BTC/ETH, but less leverage to momentum without easy money.
- Growth downshift: Rate pressure hurts unprofitable growth most.
- Quality & value tilt: Dividends and pricing power hold up better in sticky-rate environments.
- Bonds: Shorter duration avoids getting hit if yields stay elevated.
- Cash: Optionality + yield = underrated in this kind of environment.
