Candidate Actions
Portfolio Rebalance — Oct 5, 2026Nine candidate actions were generated from the mandate-eligible universe; four entered the package, two were deferred and three were screened out.
Knowing what was rejected, and why, is what separates a research package from an opaque optimizer output.
The two deferred candidates would each improve the after-tax outcome but require a separate decision on the digital-asset sleeve and the turnover ceiling.

Why These Four
Clears the concentration breach and removes the weakest rotation signal.
Strongest relative strength and best regime fit of the defensive candidates.
Least correlated large sector as cross-asset correlation rises.
Reserve optionality while liquidity conditions tighten.
The package was chosen from three frontier points on drift, after-tax cost and turnover. The two deferred candidates would each improve the after-tax outcome but sit outside the constraints of this decision.
