On this page

A model portfolio says what an account should hold: a target weight per security, a cash target, and a drift tolerance (in points) under which a rebalance leaves a holding alone.

The model list
Models with their number of targets, cash target, drift tolerance and accounts.

Create or change a model

  1. Portfolio Center › Model portfolios › + Add model (or open a model).
  2. Enter a name and description, the cash target (%) and the drift tolerance (points).
  3. Type a target % next to each security you want; leave the others empty. Targets plus cash may not exceed 100%.
  4. Save model. The change is in the event log; accounts on the model show the new drift at once.
Editing a model

Assign a model to an account

Edit the account and pick its Model portfolio, or use the command bar: Assign the Dividend Growth model to the Income Portfolio. Needs manage accounts.

Tips

  • A security an account holds but the model does not list has a target of 0: a rebalance sells it (unless you exclude it).
  • Models can also be loaded from files (data set Model portfolios).
