Traditional Investing & Portfolio Theory
What are rebalancing bands and how do they work?
Rebalancing bands are pre-set tolerance ranges around a portfolio's target weights that trigger a rebalance only when an asset drifts beyond the band. Instead of trading on a fixed calendar alone, you act when a holding moves past a threshold, say five percentage points from target. For example, a 20% target with a five-point band is left alone between 15% and 25%, and trimmed or topped up once it breaks out. Bands aim to control drift and limit unnecessary trading; they do not protect against loss or guarantee any result.
