The additional return found when rebalancing. In the crypto example, why did the monthly rebalanced portfolio return more than the untouched portfolio? That difference is a premium. And why did the daily rebalanced portfolio return more, than the monthly rebalanced portfolio?

That's backwards to how I would think about it. There is a penalty to letting the market dictate your risk exposures for you. Keeping them in line is just basic table stakes trading - not a premium.

Right so there is a natural path you would expect with no action. So the rebalance premium is return above what the natural return would be.

Yeah robot has this right imo. Rebalancing is table stakes, that should be your benchmark (and in many professionally managed portfolios it literally is). Not rebalancing back to target weights is negative alpha.

At what rebalancing frequency are the the table stakes set at?

Depends on how rapidly the target weights change and how volatile the assets traded are. As a general rule, evaluate deviation from target wts at least once/day and rebalance if the deviation is large enough (after taking tcosts into account)

The effect is not to do with the frequency of trading, explicitly.
It's caused by the discrepancy between the weights you want and the weights you have.
Which, as macro states, is a function of the volatility/auto-correlation of your alpha and the assets themselves.3 replies 0 retweets 7 likes -

still curious bout one thing can we expect to make money if we long a port that is rebalanced as optimally as possible and short the unbalanced one? if so what are we betting on, that the assets continue to be similarly uncorr&highvol, and transaction costs will stay cheap

In a theoretical, frictionless world, probably. In reality, I think you'd bump into a lot of constraints trying to do that. Good trades used to exist like this - shorting inverse/leveraged ETFs for example. Harder now cos borrowing market smarter.

One way to think about this portfolio is ++ short term reversion, - size factor, - trading costs, so if you think that combination is likely to outperform then sure, have at it

hm isnt size factor the idea that smaller market cap stuff is riskier and should earn higher returns? the rebalanced port leans more toward the small market cap stuff than the unbalanced port, so id think we are long the size factor
