MarketVector Strengthens Leadership in Multi-Assets Strategies with the Launch of the MarketVector Crypto-Balanced Multi-Asset Index (TOPMDL)
March 24, 2025--MarketVector Indexes™ ("MarketVector"), a leading provider of digital asset and multi-asset index solutions, today introduced the MarketVectorTM Crypto-Balanced Multi-Asset Index (TOPMDL). This benchmark helps investors navigate fiscal dominance and market volatility with enhanced diversification by modernizing the traditional 60/40 portfolio, integrating a 5% allocation to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Recent market conditions have highlighted the need for a more adaptive approach to portfolio construction. According to recent research from MarketVector, correlations between equities and bonds are at their highest, reducing the diversification benefits traditionally supporting a 60/40 strategy. Prolonged market volatility and changing interest rate dynamics have made experts question whether passive 60/40 investing can deliver optimal returns.

Sustainability rules are not a block on EU defence financing, but reputational fears are
March 17, 2025--To mobilise private capital for weapons, the European Commission should clarify the status of defence investing in its sustainable finance framework
The European Commission's ReArm Europe plan, published on 5 March, aims to trigger €800 billion in defence investments over four years. European Union money would be limited to €150 billion in the form of loans and the plan hinges on increasing military spending by national governments and "mobilising private capital" 1
But without clarification on the acceptability of and need for defence investment within the EU sustainable finance framework, the private sector is unlikely to meet these expectations.
Regulatory constraints are flexible
The EU's sustainable finance rules do not place overarching restrictions on defence investment, but there are restrictions on financing companies involved in the production of 'controversial weapons'-which are defined as "those referred to in international treaties and conventions, United Nations principles and, where applicable, national legislation" (Regulation (EU) 2020/1818).
