What is a glide path in investing?

A glide path is a predetermined schedule for gradually shifting a portfolio's asset mix over time, typically reducing exposure to volatile assets as a goal or target date approaches. It is a plan for how allocation changes, not a single fixed weight. For example, a glide path might steadily move a portfolio from mostly equity toward more debt over twenty years. The aim is to align risk with a shrinking time horizon. Qatobit's documented methodology lets disciplined investors fit a curated crypto allocation into whatever glide path they design. You can review the index construction first.

Crypto investments are subject to market risk and volatility. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. This is general information, not investment advice — consider your own circumstances or consult a qualified adviser before investing.
