Rebalancing Strategies
Use calendar or threshold rules to control drift, risk concentration, and implementation costs.
Core idea
Portfolio rebalancing restores assets toward target weights after markets or cash flows create drift. Calendar and threshold rules trade off tighter risk control against turnover, taxes, and implementation cost.
Implementation
A useful policy defines targets, tolerances, review frequency, cash-flow handling, and cost limits in advance.
Primary risk
Rebalancing too often can create avoidable costs, while rebalancing too slowly can allow risk concentration.
