The Rebalance Cloud 60/40 Strategy, Explained

What the frozen 60/40 target is, which sleeves it uses, and how the signal and checks fit together.

Direct answer

What is the Rebalance Cloud 60/40 strategy?

It is a fixed target: 60% of invested capital in a broad equity mix (15 US stocks, 2 China A-share ETFs, 3 broad-market ETFs) and 40% in a December point-in-time sleeve, rebalanced on your schedule with fractional market-open orders. The target is frozen so the strategy does not change between rebalances.

The target mix

  • 15 US stocks — about 72.5% of the equity sleeve
  • 2 China A-share ETFs — about 7.5%
  • 3 broad-market ETFs — about 20%
  • December point-in-time sleeve — 40% of the total

The schedule

The default is every 21 trading days (about 3 weeks), with 15 and 30 trading-day presets and a wider range available. Each workspace tracks its own next rebalance so the clock does not depend on when you joined.

How a basket is built

On the signal date, the strategy produces target weights using the frozen rules. The app turns those weights into a buy/sell list for your account size, checks every order, and shows it to you for review before anything is sent.

  • Frozen target weights
  • Your account size
  • Fractional quantities
  • Checked before send

Limits

  • The strategy is fixed; it does not adapt to your personal situation.
  • Backtests are simulated and survivorship-disclosed.
  • This is research, not advice — you keep discretion.

Common questions

Questions about this workflow

Can I change the target weights?

The engine is frozen for now. The AI assistant can discuss the closest safe interpretation, such as a cash buffer or custom capital, but it cannot change the engine weights.

Why is the target frozen?

A frozen target is testable: the checks, history, and drift all refer to the same plan. Changing weights between rebalances would make the backtest and the live portfolio hard to compare.
