Rebalancing Bands Cornucopia!

Post by MachineGhost »

This is not for the PP but a typical multi-asset diversified portfolio.  .20% per trade transaction costs.  It saves me a lot of time from having to come up with the stats myself.  Lesson: Look frequently, rebalance infrequently.

Does that infer a 25% deviation from chosen allocation [e.g. for HBPP starting at 25% each, 25% of 25%= 6% would be bands of 19/31 as optimum]? Or am I misinterpreting that conclusion?
25% -/+ 25% = 0%/50% band.  I can't see the individual trades, but it would be interesting to know if hitting 50% was a singular event in one asset or a series among the three.  Here's time and bands together:

Another fascinating thing about wider rebalancing bands is that you can capture any intermediate term momentum affect across the asset classes. This has historically been a benefit.

Anything that lowers costs and has the potential to capture a historical anomaly is great in my eyes  :)
