VanEck has launched the VanEck Wealth Builder ETF (NYSE: WBMO), an actively managed fund investing in stocks, bonds and real assets, with a target Bitcoin allocation of 2% within a permitted range of 1% to 5%. The fund gains Bitcoin exposure through a spot Bitcoin ETP rather than direct holdings, and invests in both VanEck and third-party ETFs. It builds on VanEck’s Wealth Builder model portfolios, previously available to financial advisers through third-party wealth management platforms. David Schassler, VanEck’s head of multi-asset solutions, said the traditional 60/40 portfolio was built for a different investment landscape and that adding real assets alongside stocks and bonds could help investors navigate a wider range of economic conditions. VanEck managed about $244.1 billion in assets as of September 30.

- How Much of Your Portfolio Should Be in Bitcoin After JPMorgan 10 % Forecast ?
- Morning Minute: Bitcoin Tops JPMorgan’s Ten-Year Forecast for All Assets
JPMorgan Asset Management's 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, its 31st edition, ranks 13 asset classes by expected compound annual return over the next decade. Bitcoin tops the list at 10% a year over 10 to 15 years, ahead of REITs at 8.2%, small caps at 7.7%, U.S. large caps at 7.5% and gold at 5.5%; $100 would grow to $259 in bitcoin versus $206 in large caps and $171 in gold. It is the first time bitcoin has appeared in the report, which matters because institutional allocators build their models on these assumptions, even though bitcoin's annualized volatility is 55% versus 18% for stocks. The forecast comes as the 10-year Treasury yields above 5%, yet JPMorgan still placed bitcoin at the top.
- Hedge funds emerge as winner of JP Morgan AM new …
JPMorgan Asset Management raised its 10-to-15-year return forecast for diversified hedge funds by 140bp to 6.7%, the largest upgrade of any alternative asset class in its 31st annual Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions. Most of the increase comes from alpha, which rises from 2.4% to 3.9%, while beta slips from 2.9% to 2.8%. The firm cites higher rates boosting short-position carry, governments unlocking new capital pools, and more frequent policy catalysts creating relative value opportunities, though it admits part of the uplift reflects a methodology change. The report suggests that a 30% allocation to a blend of hedge funds, gold, infrastructure and transport can lift a 60/40 portfolio's Sharpe ratio by 22% as stock-bond correlation becomes less reliable. It also warns that manager dispersion remains elevated, so manager selection is vital.

- BlackRock Is Building a Bitcoin ETF for Investors Who Can't Stomach the Swings
On Oct. 19, BlackRock filed a preliminary prospectus with the SEC for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF, ticker PBIT, which aims to deliver Bitcoin-linked gains up to a cap while cushioning some losses. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly, the fund would use options on IBIT across three overlapping, roughly three-month tranches, buying a call struck near 90% of IBIT's starting price for the floor and selling a higher-strike call to cap upside, with Treasury bills held alongside. Each tranche's loss is capped at roughly 10% before fees, but BlackRock retains broad discretion to change terms, and the fee field is still blank. The filing could take effect as early as January 2027.
- 1 Popular Cryptocurrency to Buy Before It Soars by 873%, According to Cathie Wood's Ark Invest
Bitcoin fell to a 52-week low of $58,566 in July, 53% below its all-time high of $124,773, then rebounded to about $81,800 by Oct. 23. Ark Invest, founded by Cathie Wood, forecasts Bitcoin's market cap could reach $16 trillion by 2030, implying $796,000 per coin and 873% upside from current levels. Its two main drivers are institutional funds allocating about 2.5% of their $200 trillion in managed assets, and Bitcoin capturing 20% to 60% of gold's $28 trillion market cap as "digital gold." The author argues the forecast may be too ambitious: Bitcoin has fallen 13% since the start of 2025 while gold has risen 57%, and a $16 trillion valuation would exceed the combined market caps of Nvidia, Apple and Alphabet. Although Bitcoin's recent recovery could continue, the author considers a rally to $796,000 per coin unrealistic.

- TSLA Stock Rises As Cybercabs Overtake Model Ys In Authorized Texas Robotaxi Fleet
Data from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles shows Tesla's purpose-built Cybercab, a steering-wheel-free robotaxi, has become the majority of its authorized robotaxi fleet in Texas for the first time, with 544 of 1,051 vehicles. Model Y accounts for 507, a shift from early October when the registry showed 319 Cybercabs against 420 Model Ys. The data covers authorization only, not whether vehicles are operating or carrying riders. Cybercabs currently run only in Austin, while Tesla's robotaxis operate in Austin, Houston, Dallas and parts of Florida; Tesla said it is looking to add Cybercabs in Dallas next month. TSLA closed 4% higher on Tuesday but is down 9% year to date.
- Why Brown & Brown Stock Slumped by 5% Today
Brown & Brown's third-quarter revenue was almost $1.73 billion, up more than 7% from a year earlier but below the analyst average of $1.76 billion. GAAP net income rose almost 6% to $240 million, while adjusted earnings per share inched up nearly 2% to $1.07, short of the $1.09 consensus. The company cited a challenging rate environment of softening insurance premiums and said the Accession Risk Management Group acquisition, a $9.8 billion deal in 2025, helped results. Organic revenue, which excludes acquisitions, rose barely over 1% to $1.46 billion, pointing to weakness in the legacy business. The stock closed nearly 5% lower on Tuesday amid a broad investor sell-off.
- Penguin Solutions, Broadcom, FormFactor, Lattice Semiconductor, and AMD stocks trade up, what you need to know
Several chip and AI hardware stocks rose in the afternoon session after Broadcom reportedly secured $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic. Anthropic's IPO filing and Meta's equity offering were seen as signs that tech capital spending remains robust. PENG rose 7.8%, AVGO 3.8%, FORM 5.9%, LSCC 5.2% and AMD 5.3%. The article notes PENG had dropped 9.4% five days earlier after warnings that component shortages and cleanroom constraints would limit chip equipment makers through 2027, citing Lam Research. PENG has had 69 moves greater than 5% over the past year.
- Investing $1,000 in Each of These 3 Stocks 20 Years Ago Would Have Created a Portfolio Worth $674,000 Today
The article calculates that a $1,000 investment in each of Nvidia, Netflix and Amazon 20 years ago would be worth about $674,000 combined as of October 26. Nvidia's stake would be worth about $383,000, with most gains coming in the past couple of years as generative AI took off; the chipmaker's operating profit totaled nearly $200 billion over the past four quarters, its market cap is around $5.3 trillion, and it trades at 28 times trailing earnings. Netflix's stake would be worth more than $161,000, but its stock has fallen this year on concerns about slowing growth and is trading near its 52-week low. Amazon's stake would be worth about $130,000, and its operating income last year reached $80 billion, more than six times the $12 billion of three years earlier; the stock trades at around 20 times trailing earnings. The author argues these growth stocks can still be good buys today.
- Western Digital, Allegro MicroSystems, Amtech, and Teradyne shares skyrocket, what you need to know
Several semiconductor stocks rose sharply in the afternoon session after Broadcom obtained $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic. Alongside Anthropic's IPO filing and Meta's equity offering, the news signaled that tech capital spending remains robust. Among the gainers, Western Digital (WDC) rose 8.1%, Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) gained 6.4%, Amtech (ASYS) added 5.1% and Teradyne (TER) climbed 5.6%. The article notes WDC has had 79 moves greater than 5% over the past year, and about 22 hours earlier the stock had gained 5.2% after Bank of America projected memory chip supplies would stay tight through 2028. Citing CNBC, the article says semiconductor fabrication equipment spending is projected to exceed $200 billion in 2027, as demand outpaces clean-room capacity and the availability of critical parts.
- Is Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) Cheap On Icon Drilling Results Or Already Priced In?
Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) reported extensive drilling results from the Icon gold camp at its Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia, confirming repeated stacked high-grade gold lenses. The share price rose 11.03% on the day and 10.47% over the past week, but fell 15.62% over 30 days; it is up 180.38% year to date and returned 205.52% over 12 months. A valuation narrative cited in the article puts fair value at CA$6.28 versus a last close of CA$4.43, implying 29% undervaluation. The article notes the market values Benz above C$1 billion without a current maiden Mineral Resource, and the stock trades at 26.4 times book value versus 2.2 times for the Canadian metals and mining group. Risks include less of the Exploration Target converting into compliant ounces than hoped or weaker project economics in future studies.
