Auto-rebalance option
Pearler Community
"I want an auto-rebalancing option to allow me to follow Larry Swedroe’s 5/25 rule. i.e. rebalance when the change in an asset class’s allocation is greater than either an absolute 5 or 25 percent of the original target allocation, whichever is less.
Example 1: VAS has a target allocation of 40% in a portfolio, but due to a rough period on the ASX, it’s allocation drops to 35%. You must buy more VAS to rebalance your portfolio back up to its 40% allocation.
Example 2: VAF has a target allocation of 10% in a portfolio, but it’s allocation rises to 12.5% of the portfolio. Because 12.5% is 25% more than the target allocation, you need to sell down VAF to bring it back to 10% and rebalance the portfolio.
You could give investors the option either to set it to follow Larry Swedroe’s 5/25 rule or just set a frequency where every holding in their portfolio is rebalanced (ie once a year, once every six months, etc.)
Not a huge issue, just something to think about that I’m sure many of your clients would appreciate because it completely removes the aversion to capital gains tax"

Ah damn. What a pity, I was really hoping that automatic balancing would become part of the platform.

This turned out to be slightly more complicated in implementation, so we're moving this back to open. Please continue to vote up or down etc. We will watch.
