How It Works

Enter current crypto and equity weights, volatilities, and portfolio value. The tool computes inverse volatility targets and rebalance trades. If crypto volatility is 60% and equity volatility is 18%, inverse volatility weighting targets roughly 23% crypto and 77% equity for equal risk contribution. Enter your actual portfolio value to see dollar rebalance trades. A $50,000 portfolio at 10% crypto and 90% equity with stated vols shows exact dollar amounts to buy or sell in each sleeve. Example altcoin sleeve at 80% vol receives half the weight of bitcoin at 40% vol under pure inverse vol math before caps. Institutional crypto allocators often cap sleeve at 5% regardless of vol math: apply your policy cap after viewing targets. If crypto volatility is 60% and equity volatility is 18%, inverse volatility weighting targets roughly 23% crypto and 77% equity for equal risk contribution. Enter your actual portfolio value to see dollar rebalance trades. Institutional allocators often cap crypto sleeve at five percent regardless of inverse vol math: apply policy cap after viewing raw targets. If crypto volatility is 60% and equity volatility is 18%, inverse volatility weighting targets roughly 23% crypto and 77% equity for equal risk contribution.

Review vol contribution from each sleeve to understand risk balance at target weights. Rebalance when drift exceeds 5 percentage points rather than on every small move. Crypto volatility spikes can swing target weights daily during bull markets. Track vol contribution bars: at target weights each sleeve should contribute near equal portfolio volatility before correlation effects. Layer stablecoin cash outside the model then recalculate crypto equity split on invested risk assets only. Compare current versus target on same screen before placing exchange orders to avoid partial rebalance mistakes. Rebalance when drift exceeds 5 percentage points rather than on every small move. Crypto volatility spikes can swing target weights daily during bull markets. Rebalance band of five percentage points reduces turnover when crypto vol spikes daily during bull markets.

Common mistakes

The Formula

Target Crypto % = (1/Crypto Vol) / (1/Crypto Vol + 1/Equity Vol) × 100

Rebalance = (Target − Current Normalized) × Portfolio Value

FAQ

How does inverse volatility allocation work?

Inverse volatility weighting allocates more to lower volatility assets. Given crypto and equity volatilities, it suggests a balanced risk contribution split. Equal risk contribution differs from equal dollar weighting. High vol crypto gets a smaller target weight so both sleeves contribute similar portfolio volatility. Stablecoin and cash sleeves belong outside this two asset model. Include only risk assets in crypto and equity buckets. Leveraged crypto exposure belongs in vol input only at unleveraged notional unless you model margin separately. Equal risk contribution differs from equal dollar weighting. High vol crypto gets a smaller target weight so both sleeves contribute similar portfolio volatility.

What inputs do I need?

Current crypto and equity percentages, expected volatilities for each, and total portfolio value for rebalance dollar amounts. Use 90 day realized vol or implied vol from options markets. Bitcoin vol often doubles during crashes versus calm periods. Include ETH and BTC vol separately if both held rather than blending into one crypto vol input. Use 90 day realized vol or implied vol from options markets. Bitcoin vol often doubles during crashes versus calm periods.

How do I read rebalance amounts?

Positive rebalance to crypto means buy crypto; negative means sell crypto into equities to reach target weights. Positive rebalance to crypto means buy crypto with proceeds from equity sales. Negative means trim crypto back toward target. Trim duplicate rebalance guidance: execute trades in tax advantaged accounts first when crypto gains are large. Positive rebalance to crypto means buy crypto with proceeds from equity sales. Negative means trim crypto back toward target. Taxable rebalancing may favor selling winners in IRA first: note tax lots before executing large crypto trim trades. Positive rebalance to crypto means buy crypto with proceeds from equity sales. Negative means trim crypto back toward target. Taxable rebalancing may favor selling winners in IRA first: note tax lots before executing large crypto trim trades. Positive rebalance to crypto means buy crypto with proceeds from equity sales. Negative means trim crypto back toward target.

Which volatility should I use?

Volatility assumptions matter. Use trailing or implied vol you believe is forward looking. Crypto vol is typically much higher than equities. Update vol inputs after major regime changes. 2022 crypto winter saw sustained 80%+ vol versus 50% in calmer bull phases. Quarterly rebalance aligns with equity rebalance calendars and reduces turnover versus monthly crypto trading. Update vol inputs after major regime changes. 2022 crypto winter saw sustained 80%+ vol versus 50% in calmer bull phases.
