Auto-rebalancing: What, Why, & How?

Auto-rebalancing: What, Why, & How?

Written by AQUMON Team on 2021-08-06

Given the unpredictability of the market, investments must be tweaked every so often. As the market rises and falls, we should regularly review our investment portfolio and make adjustments!

 

What is rebalancing? What is auto-rebalancing? 

 

AQUMON uses big data and algorithmic technology to make investment recommendations for clients based on their risk tolerance and market data. If you’re a young investor who has a higher risk appetite, then the proportion of stocks in your portfolio will also be higher. 

 

However, if the market shifts and the price of one stock rises, then the amount of that stock as a percent of your total portfolio increases. This causes the overall risk of your portfolio to be higher. When your portfolio deviates too much from our recommended optimal position, AQUMON will recommend clients to rebalance their positions. 

 

 

Just like how you and I need regular doctor check-ups, your portfolio also needs regular adjustments to detect risk early and protect your profits!

 

If you don't want to manually readjust your portfolio every time, AQUMON’s new feature can definitely help you out: auto-rebalancing!

 

When this feature is turned on, your investment will be automatically rebalanced to be in the optimal condition; if this feature is turned off, you will need to confirm the readjustment manually.

 

3 Benefits of Auto-Rebalancing

 

1) “hands-off” adjustments

 

Typically, AQUMON's investment portfolios are adjusted 2-4 times/year. In the past, some clients said that they may have missed the best time to adjust their portfolios because they did not pay attention to our adjustment notices.

 

2) Saves time and effort

 

Given that most don’t have the time or energy to conduct market research, it is very difficult for the average retail investor to accurately determine the optimal trades timings. However, if you turn on the AQUMON auto-rebalancing function, all adjustments will be done automatically without any action by the client. This will save your time in watching markets and executing trades!

 

3) Ability to invest in AQUMON’s new products (coming soon!)

 

As Asia's leading smart investment platform, we are constantly refining our strategies to achieve higher investment returns for our clients. Soon, we will launch our new more active investment product with hedging capabilities. This product has a stronger performance profile and requires a higher rebalancing frequency. As such, it can only be purchased by clients who have the auto-rebalancing feature enabled.

 

 

Will the Auto-Rebalancing Feature Cause me to Incur More Fees?

 

AQUMON charges 0 commission fees on our investment portfolios and only charges a one-time advisory fee based on your investment amount. Therefore, AQUMON will not charge commissions nor platform fees for each portfolio rebalancing.

 

However, third party fees (such as those charged by the stock exchange) will be charged to the client upon rebalancing (please click here to view the fees).

 

How do I Enable the Auto-Rebalancing Feature? 

 

Follow the steps below to enable the auto-rebalancing function.

 

 

When you want to disable the auto-rebalancing function, you can turn it off in the "Me” page.

 

 

When will Portfolio Rebalancing be Triggered?

 

1. Market changes or changes in risk appetite

 

The AQUMON system monitors the deviation of your portfolio holdings from the optimal portfolio position. As the market moves, an adjustment may be triggered when the deviation exceeds a threshold. If your risk appetite changes, such as from aggressive to conservative, we will also adjust your portfolio for you.

 

2. Strategy Upgrade

 

AQUMON's algorithmic research team closely monitors market conditions and continuously adjusts our strategies in a timely manner. We are always introducing new upgraded algorithms in response to changes in the market.

 

AQUMON hopes to help you on your way to a simpler and smarter investment journey!
