Portfolio Philosophy

The Cascabel Portfolio represents a modern interpretation of asset allocation theory, blending the resilience of Ray Dalio's All Weather approach with the anti-fragility principles of the Cockroach Portfolio. Unlike its conservative predecessors, this strategy deliberately embraces calculated risk to capture asymmetric upside opportunities while maintaining robust downside protection. Like a Cascabel rattlesnake, it adapts and strikes at the right moment.

By allocating to diversified asset classes: equities, international markets, gold, and digital assets. The portfolio is designed to perform across inflation, deflation, growth, and recession scenarios. The 20% allocation to Bitcoin serves as a volatility engine and hedge against monetary debasement, while traditional equity and commodity exposure provides stability and long-term compounding.

Diversification

Six uncorrelated asset classes reduce single-point failure and enhance all-weather performance.

Systematic Rebalancing

Monthly rebalancing mechanically captures profits and maintains target risk exposure.

Asymmetric Upside

Strategic Bitcoin allocation targets exponential growth while limiting downside to allocation size.
