Subject: Re: Factor ETF Long-term Performance
I do not rebalance, let the winners (and, sigh, the occasional loser) run. I don't want to trim the winners, and the losers generally drop off in a month or two.
I run the screen every month, trading on the first. 25 HTD 30.
For April there was only 1 stock that changed. Sold one, bought one. In March, 7 sells and 11 buys. (7 full and 4 underweight)
Despite the HTD, there are sometimes a stock that keeps dropping out and in.
FWIW, here is are my current holdings and their gains. I don't bother to keep track of the trade dates, this is in an IRA at M1 Finance. When a profitable stock is sold, some of its proceeds gets distributed to the stocks that are underweight, so many of the stocks have been bought several times.
