Rebalancing after a decline differs from calculating a rebound

Suppose a hypothetical daily-target double-exposure product starts with net assets of 100 and exposure of 200. If the underlying falls 10% in a day, exposure becomes 180 and the loss of 20 leaves net assets of 80. Target exposure is 160, requiring an exposure reduction of 20 if nothing else changes. If the underlying rises 10% the next day, it ends at 99% of its initial value and the product at 96%. Calculate rebalancing flows separately from cumulative returns across days.

Check for yourself

1. Does the actual product have a daily target, and which derivatives adjust exposure?
2. Does estimated selling mean cash-market orders or a change in notional exposure?
3. Could expected earnings and debt-service capacity deteriorate even as flows stabilize?

Limits of application

100, 200, 10%, 180, 20, 80, 160, 20, 10%, 99% and 96% are hypothetical. Fees, financing costs, tracking error and fund flows are excluded; this does not estimate actual daily sales or future rebounds.
