The Value of Rebalancing
The recent fall in equity prices has led many to question the value of systematic rebalancing. Right now it seems like throwing good money after bad. However, we believe that systematic rebalancing (selling the best performing asset classes and buying the worst performing) helps performance in the long term. As evidence of this I would like to summarize a study by Craig L Israelsen, Ph.D., a professor at Brigham Young University. This study was published in an article in the February 2009 issue of Financial Planning magazine (http://www.financial-planning.com/fp_issues/2009_2/crash-helmet2660847-1.html).
