| In this week's Smart Investing, we discuss the different characteristics of three popular investments: shares, bonds and cryptocurrency. Included in this edition is an explanation of how shares are categorised, a piece by Jean Bauler, our Head of Bond Indexing Asia-Pacific, on the important role of bonds and why they act as a ballast in an investment portfolio, and lastly, an article by Duncan Burns, our Head of Investments Asia-Pacific, on the case of cryptocurrency and why it's currently not included in Vanguard's standard asset allocation model.
