Main Description
The Portfolio Rebalancer Tool allows users to enter a list of symbols and corresponding weightings to construct a standard "Buy and Hold" portfolio and examine the performance of the portfolio as well as different rebalancing timeframes. The tool will show the user the results of buying and holding as well as rebalancing the portfolio yearly, quarterly and monthly. Rebalancing involves adjusting the portfolio back to the target allocations periodically since the allocation % will drift as the prices of each security will go up and down over the period.
