Abstract
The average portfolio structure of institutional investors is shown to have properties which account for transaction costs in an optimal way.

Individual deviations from the rational benchmark are ample, which illustrates that system-wide rationality does not need nearly rational individuals. Finally we discuss the importance of accounting for constraints when assessing the presence of Wisdom of the Crowd.
