Video Overview
This video provides a hands-on walkthrough of the updated asset allocation backtesting tool. The presenter starts by creating a portfolio named “Taiwan 433 Smart Rebalancing,” entering sample parameters, duplicating an existing portfolio, and comparing runs with different settings. The middle portion switches between defensive and aggressive flexible-rebalancing configurations and demonstrates how Taiwan and U.S. allocation cases can be organized and exported. The closing section covers monthly cash flow, the household balance sheet, configuration changes, and whole-portfolio duplication, showing how users can trace a result back to its assumptions and data. Any successes, failures, or performance differences shown are outcomes of the presenter’s specific software examples, not general investment conclusions.
Key Takeaways
- The presenter restarts the asset allocation backtesting workflow in the updated interface by creating a “Taiwan 433 Smart Rebalancing” portfolio. The sample configuration includes 3% interest and annual borrowing capped at 2%; these figures are demonstration inputs only.
- An existing Portfolio can be duplicated and then adjusted for a side-by-side test. The video compares two settings labeled 2.5 and 2.6 and uses the 2.6 run as a failure case.
- The flexible-rebalancing example switches between defensive and aggressive settings. The presenter describes the aggressive configuration as performing better in this particular backtest, not as a guarantee of future strategy performance.
- The Taiwan and U.S. asset allocation cases can be renamed, duplicated, and exported, making it easier to preserve and compare variants without rebuilding every portfolio from scratch.
- The results area includes cash flow, monthly cash flow, and month-by-month household balance-sheet changes. Users can return to the configuration to revise assumptions and investigate where a calculation or outcome may have gone wrong.

The presenter introduces the updated interface, builds a Taiwan 433 Smart Rebalancing portfolio from scratch, and enters a name and sample borrowing-related parameters.
About 00:06:28 · Duplicating a Portfolio for Comparison
The Copy function duplicates the original allocation before settings labeled 2.5 and 2.6 are compared; one of the runs is used as a failure case in the demonstration.
About 00:13:42 · Flexible Rebalancing and Aggressive Settings
The walkthrough changes the flexible-rebalancing strategy type, reviews the aggressive case on screen, and then demonstrates how to export and download the backtest data.
About 00:20:56 · Defensive, Aggressive, and U.S. Cases
The presenter compares defensive settings with traditional smart rebalancing, adds an aggressive setup, and exports a U.S. case while organizing the Taiwan allocation file.
