Most investors default to the classic 60/40 portfolio. But the top-performing funds of the past decade? They went in a very different direction. In this short, Mark Yusko breaks down how some of the world’s smartest investors allocated heavily to venture capital, private equity, and real assets, and why that approach delivered outlier returns.

You’ll learn how the power law shapes portfolio performance, why a 90/10 allocation beat conventional models, and what “risk” really means to the wealthiest allocators. This isn’t financial advice - it’s a look at different long-term thinking changed the outcome for some money managers.

If you’re curious about how real wealth is built, why the 60/40 model may be outdated, and how alternative assets are reshaping portfolios, this one’s for you.

So far in 2025, gold has hit a new all-time high above $3,400 an ounce, increasing by more than 50% since early 2024. Where its price is headed next is anyone’s guess, but its run-up has created renewed interest in the overall industry...

IMPORTANT: This video was produced and disseminated on behalf of Axcap Ventures Inc. (“Axcap” or the “Company”).

Over the last two decades, gold has quietly notched a compounded annual growth rate of over 10%... all the while, major global currencies have undergone substantial devaluation.

On that front, Nevada is one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world, accounting for roughly 75% of U.S. gold output and consistently ranking among the top five gold-producing jurisdictions globally. Its world-class deposits, mining-friendly regulations, and stable infrastructure make it a strategic hub for both major producers and investment exploration.

Our sponsor and client, Axcap Ventures Inc. (CSE:AXCP), is an investment company whose primary objective is to identify promising growth investments with a focus on acquiring gold projects in North America. The Company’s flagship investment is located in Nevada’s Battle Mountain Trend.
