Abstract

We examine buy and hold and a number of rebalancing strategies on a portfolio of indices that are tracked by ETFs. The indices include Barkley's treasuries and MSCI indices on emerging markets, Pacific and European markets, value funds, and growth funds. Portfolios are rebalanced using threshold schemes and compared with portfolios rebalanced using weights from different points on the Markowitz efficient frontier. We also examine portfolios that are rebalanced across monetary policy regimes. We find that portfolios rebalanced using Markowitz weights that allow for shifts in monetary policy regimes easily outperform both threshold rebalancing and buy and hold strategies.
