CFA1, Reading 48

Practice Problem 20 on p. 118 and Answer on p. 123

Can somebody explain the answer? I do not think it is correct.

Better if you post the question here, it would be easier to respond to it then.

The question:

Which of the following index weighting methods requires the most frequent rebalancing?

A. Price weighting.

B. Equal weighting.

C. Market-capitalization weighting.

Answer in the book:

B is correct. Changing market prices will cause weights that were initially equal to become unequal, thus requiring rebalancing.

I do not understand, how to adjust the weight of 1/N.

OK. I understand it now.

“Equal weighting” means “Equal amount of money in each equity”.
