Abstract

In the digital era, the advent of new asset classes like cryptocurrencies and the application of advanced analytical tools have significantly reshaped portfolio management. This study employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the efficiency of range-rebalanced investment portfolios incorporating diverse assets such as cryptocurrencies, major currencies, technology securities, and commodities. The analysis spans from October 1, 2016, to June 30, 2022, evaluating various rebalancing strategies including Allowed Range, Threshold, Drifting Mix, and Tactical approaches during different market conditions, including pre-COVID-19, during COVID-19, and post-COVID-19 periods. The findings highlight the superiority of strategic rebalancing, particularly combining high-value cryptocurrencies with technology securities, in enhancing portfolio performance and risk management. This research provides valuable insights for optimizing asset allocation in the dynamic financial landscape, underscoring the importance of strategic rebalancing in maximizing returns while managing risk.
