Loss versus Rebalancing

Definition

Loss versus rebalancing refers to the comparison between the financial impact of maintaining a fixed asset allocation and the costs or benefits associated with periodically adjusting that allocation. In digital asset portfolios or liquidity pools, holding assets without rebalancing can lead to impermanent loss or missed opportunities. Rebalancing involves adjusting asset proportions to a target allocation, which can incur transaction fees or slippage. This analysis informs portfolio management strategies.
