Rubin Equal Weight
1/N at 2025-12-30 inception, quarterly last-trading-day rebalance back to equal weight. Notional 500k USD.
Thesis
Rubin Equal Weight mirrors the live CL-RUBIN-EW index methodology: at inception, every constituent of the Rubin Build-Out 100 receives the same dollar weight (1/N). Each calendar quarter end, the portfolio is rebalanced back to equal weights — winners are trimmed, laggards are topped up. A pure expression of the breadth thesis with mechanical mean-reversion baked in.
Inception: 2025-12-30 with $500,000 notional, spread equal-weight across the 102 constituents at their local-currency closing prices, FX-converted to USD at the inception spot rate. Fractional shares permitted.
Rebalance schedule: last trading day of each calendar quarter — Mar 31 / Jun 30 / Sep 30 / Dec 31. At each rebalance, the current portfolio market value is divided by N (= 102) and each name is reset to that target dollar exposure at the close. Between rebalances, weights drift naturally with price action.
