Hi dreamer,

thanks for the sharing. For the 5/25, it is your own personal rule is it or is it based on general rule of thumb? i did not come across any article mention about this 5/25 rule...

Anyway, for asset that is 20% of portfolio, can you elaborate why 5/25 is the same number?
i am not putting 20/80 allocation so i will never have this issue but just wondering why you mention it is the same number.

thanks.

kevyeoh,

It is a general rule. It is called band based re-balancing... Most people do calendar based re-balancing or band base or both.

If you have 20% of A and it went up by 25%, 20% X 1.25 = 25%. A had went up from 20% of your portfolio to 25% of your portfolio. It is basic math. It is approximately the same.

ETFs are supposed to—and generally do—trade in lockstep with the stocks they own, with very little tracking error. Yet when the S&P 500 fell as much as 5.3% in the opening minutes of trading, the $65 billion iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (ticker:IVV) fell as much as 26%, some 20 percentage points below its fair value. Disorderly trading affected big ETFs from every major provider: The $18 billion Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) and the $12 billion SPDR S&P Dividend (SDY) plunged 38% apiece, while the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV) fell as much as 46% before clawing back an hour after markets opened.

So what's your point, that there was a mistracking that lasted a few minutes? that happens all the time.. but in the long term it tracks quite well.

Its depend on what is the value of MY share.
if less than 10k then its waste.

Why less than 10k will be waste? It's actually euro

No. Why?
If you are comfortable with your holdings, why switch?

Unless you want your holdings to follow benchmark.
