decisions, but how many measure the impact of when those decisions are
made? This seemingly innocuous choice can lead to significant and
permanent performance dispersion, even between otherwise identically
managed strategies. In this presentation, we will explore the idea of
Rebalance Timing Luck, its primary drivers, and how investors can seek
to control for it.
