Is Your Gemini Portfolio Underperforming?
Gemini is a cryptocurrency exchange and custody platform, where trading fees and price volatility drive results.
Pure Benchmarks ranks real Gemini portfolios against thousands of other verified investor portfolios across nine standardized risk categories, from 100% equity to 90% fixed income. Every portfolio is recategorized daily from actual end-of-day holdings, and Community Nests shows exactly where your Gemini portfolio ranks against other real Gemini clients in the same risk category — built entirely from verified portfolio data, with no firm that manages money able to see any data point on the platform.
Why your Gemini portfolio can lag a pure index baseline
The spread-and-volatility gap. Crypto and neobank wrappers carry spreads, custody and transaction costs, and high volatility. Together they make it genuinely hard to tell whether you are keeping pace with a diversified index baseline or quietly falling behind it.
What to review on a Gemini portfolio
- Check whether trading and custody fees are reducing net returns on the account.
- Look at whether crypto volatility makes it hard to keep pace with a diversified index baseline.
