Extract

A portfolio frontier superior to the Markowitz one-period buy-and hold efficient frontier does exist. Such a superior frontier can be generated by pursuing a rebalancing policy, even under the conditions of random walk. By rebalancing we mean that an investor maintains a fixed but optimal set of weights among the securities in a portfolio throughout an investment period by buying and selling securities at the end of some predetermined intervals.
