Core Viewpoint - The article analyzes the performance and potential of gold and Bitcoin as alternative assets in the context of increasing geopolitical uncertainty, exploring their effectiveness as stores of value during unstable periods [3][57]. Group 1: Historical Context of Gold - Historically, gold has been a reliable anchor for monetary systems, oscillating between the gold standard and excessive debt, leading to inflation and financial instability [4]. - During the Roman Empire, gold and silver were crucial to the currency system, but inflation arose from the dilution of silver content in coins, eroding public trust [4][5]. - Gold's reliability as a safe haven is highlighted during the 1970s when uncertainty in U.S. fiscal policy led to a loss of confidence in fiat currencies [5][9]. Group 2: Characteristics of Gold - Gold enhances portfolio diversification and provides tail risk hedging, making it an important tool for risk management [9]. - In times of economic recession, gold has shown resilience, particularly during periods of high inflation, as seen in the 1970s stagflation [17]. - Gold typically exhibits a stable upward trend in controlled inflation environments, as evidenced during the global financial crisis and early COVID-19 pandemic [17]. Group 3: Bitcoin as "Digital Gold" - Bitcoin is characterized by high price volatility, often experiencing double-digit fluctuations within short periods, contrasting sharply with gold's stability [10]. - Since the introduction of Bitcoin futures in 2017, its long-term appreciation has significantly outpaced that of gold, with a low average correlation of 0.14 between the two assets [10]. - Bitcoin's decentralized nature and limited supply appeal to investors seeking high-growth potential assets that are less correlated with traditional markets [10][57]. Group 4: Market Dynamics and Demand - Gold remains a key player in global financial markets, with central banks significantly influencing demand; investment demand for gold increased by 25% year-on-year, driven by substantial ETF inflows [39][40]. - Bitcoin's demand is bolstered by growing acceptance among individuals, businesses, and some governments, with institutional interest rising as they hold approximately 21% of mined Bitcoin [46]. - The inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs reached $12.5 billion year-to-date, indicating strong institutional interest, while gold ETFs attracted $16.6 billion during the same period, suggesting coexistence of interest in both assets [46]. Group 5: Supply and Liquidity - Bitcoin's supply is strictly capped at 21 million coins, with a halving mechanism that reduces the rate of new coin production, enhancing its scarcity [24]. - In contrast, gold supply is more elastic, as miners can increase production in response to improved economic conditions, leading to a more variable supply over time [29]. Group 6: Correlation and Market Behavior - Historically, gold has shown a negative correlation with risk assets, making it an attractive hedge during market downturns; however, this correlation has recently shifted to a positive trend [33]. - Bitcoin initially had a low correlation with stocks, but this has increased in recent years, particularly during liquidity-driven bull and bear markets [33]. Group 7: Conclusion - While Bitcoin's performance during crises and increasing institutional adoption suggest its evolution towards a digital safe-haven asset, its primary value lies in its disruptive growth potential rather than directly replacing gold's traditional safe-haven function [57]. - Combining gold and Bitcoin in investment portfolios may enhance diversification due to their low correlation with traditional assets, with gold providing stability and Bitcoin offering exposure to technological innovation and high growth potential [57].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of diversified investment strategies to balance risk and return, highlighting three main asset classes: stocks, bonds, and commodities [2][3][56]. Group 1: Investment Strategies - The first method of wealth generation is becoming a shareholder by investing in companies expected to grow, such as buying stocks of popular brands like Moutai [6][7]. - The second method involves investing in gold as a hedge against currency devaluation and inflation, especially during times of geopolitical uncertainty [9]. - The third method is acting as a creditor by lending money and earning interest, which is a more stable but lower-yielding investment [10][11]. Group 2: Market Analysis - Historical performance of A-shares shows significant volatility, with a peak of 6000 points in 2007 and a current level around 3600 points, raising questions about future trends [15][19]. - Gold prices are also at historical highs, leading to uncertainty about future price movements [20]. - The bond market, particularly 10-year government bonds, offers low yields (1.7%), indicating a trade-off between risk and return [27][28]. Group 3: Diversification Benefits - The article advocates for a diversified investment approach, combining stocks, bonds, and commodities to reduce risk and enhance potential returns [29][31]. - A recent example illustrates how different asset classes react differently to market events, showcasing the benefits of low correlation among them [39]. - The article presents a hypothetical investment scenario demonstrating that a diversified portfolio can mitigate losses and improve recovery chances compared to a concentrated investment strategy [43][51]. Group 4: Practical Application - The article suggests a specific asset allocation strategy of 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% commodities, which has yielded a cumulative return of nearly 10% year-to-date [55]. - It introduces the "Snowball Three-Point Method" for replicating a diversified investment strategy, focusing on long-term investment and asset allocation [56].

证券时报记者 钟恬 近日，滴灌通旗下滴灌通国际投资有限公司（以下简称"滴灌投资"）冲刺港股上市更新了动态，将中金 香港、德意志银行添加为整体协调人。而在6月18日，该公司首次提交上市申请时，保荐人及整体协调 人为汇丰银行。 这场IPO吸引市场关注的地方还在于，滴灌投资拟以罕见的香港上市规则第21章登陆港股主板，成为10 多年来港交所出现的最特殊IPO申请之一。 滴灌通由港交所前行政总裁李小加创立。在这位前行政总裁的背书下，滴灌通"非股非债"的金融试验， 究竟是破解小微融资难题的范式革命，还是效果未明的资本游戏？ 尘封规则下的特殊闯关 根据香港上市规则，以第21章提交上市申请的公司可不用披露中文版本上市文件，上市申请也只需证明 投资策略的合理性、内部监控有效性及利益冲突管理的健全性。因此滴灌投资上市文件目前仅有英文 版，招股书内也并未公布公司的具体业绩数据。 第21章这一规则自上世纪90年代设立，因允许无实际业务、仅以投资为目标的公司上市，且无需满足常 规财务指标，曾被视为特殊资产平台的"快捷通道"。但2014年后因沦为部分公司的借壳工具而备受非 议，这一通道逐渐尘封。上一次有企业通过此路径上市，还是2011年 ...

Core Viewpoint - The current market rally is driven by the rising sentiment among retail investors and the return of foreign capital, with insurance funds providing long-term support.
