A question concerning asset allocation, specifically relating to re-balancing.
If I wanted to hold 70% of my portfolio in stocks, divided for example as follows:
54% Global Stocks Index (developed markets)
8% Emerging markets Index
8% Japanese stocks.
Is it better to buy each of those 3 categories in 3 separate funds so that I can re-balance as required?
Or if i find a fund which covers all those markets in similar proportions (e.g. ＳＢＩ－ＥＸＥ－ｉ つみたてグローバル（中小型含む）株式ファンド), (or VT), with similar average expense ratios, would i get roughly the same results, and would that single fund do the re-balancing internally?
And the bonus question for tonight : the above-mentioned SBI fund seems to be quite new and consequently very small. Is this a reason for a newbie investor to avoid it, or since it is SBI and tracking the same FTSE Global all-cap that VT tracks, should i consider it safe?
If not, can anyone suggest a comparable fund with similarly low cost?
Thanks for any advice.
