The More Often We Rebalance Investment Portfolio the Better?

No, the frequsncy of rebalancing has no significant effects on the investment results with a sefined cash and stock ratio. Cash here is a proxy for short-term bond yields with no fluctuation return rates.

Furthermore, investment portfolios rebalanced periodically does not have better Sharpe ratios than the non-rebalanced one.

The scenario is investing right at the highest point of S&P 500 index right before it crashed during the crisis. The date is Oct 9, 2007  when the index reached 1,565.15. I will compare the returns of each asset against SPY in the following order: Investing until the bottom of the crisis at 676.53 on Mar 09, 2009 in order to simulate downside risk. Investing until the S&P 500 index closed above the previous high at 1,568.61 on Apr 09, 2013 in order to simulate recover ability. Investing until the bottom of the Covid crisis at 2,304.92 on Mar 20, 2020 in order to simulate a series of market crashes. Performance By Ranks Oct 9, 2007 to Mar 09, 2009 SHY  return is 8.848% AGG  return is 7.390% LQD  return is -6.793% HYG  return i...
