Rebalancing a passive portfolio can be costly. A simple way to minimize costs is to place constraints on turnover, but this approach overlooks differences in liquidity across securities.

Our example illustrates the impact of more granular liquidity data on the actual rebalancing costs that are realized. We also highlight the effect of the market impact on trading cost.
