portfolio-rebalancer-cli 0.2.0

A CLI tool for contribution-only portfolio rebalancing.

Portfolio Rebalancer

A CLI tool designed to help investors maintain their target asset allocation through contribution-only rebalancing.

This project was built using Gemini CLI to explore AI-driven development for architectural designs, scaffolding, and code generation.

Motivation

I originally managed my investments and rebalancing through a spreadsheet. I ported the logic to a CLI tool to achieve:

• Workflow efficiency. Faster execution and a foundation for future automation.
• Version control. My investment strategy and portfolio can now be tracked with Git.
• Reliability. All logic lies within modules that are invisible to the user. No more accidental formula breaks!

Features

• Tax-Efficient Logic: Prioritizes buying underweight assets, never selling.
• JSON Portfolios: Load your custom portfolio from a simple json file.
• Proportional Scaling: Handles contributions that are too small to fill all gaps perfectly.
• Modern Python: Built with type hints, dataclasses, and a modular package structure.

Installation

Install the tool directly from PyPI:

pip install portfolio-rebalancer-cli

Usage

1. Configure your portfolio: Create a portfolio.json file in your current directory using the following format, adding asset classes and adjusting according to your portfolio:

   {
     "assets": [
       {
         "name": "US Total Stock",
         "target_allocation": 0.60,
         "current_balance": 6000.00
       },
       {
         "name": "International Stock",
         "target_allocation": 0.30,
         "current_balance": 2000.00
       },
       {
         "name": "Bond Market",
         "target_allocation": 0.10,
         "current_balance": 2000.00
       }
     ]
   }
   

2. Run the rebalancer:

   • Default Mode (looks for portfolio.json in current folder):

     rebalance --contribution 1000
     

   • Custom File Mode:

     rebalance --contribution 1000 --file my_custom_portfolio.json
