Question for the board

For those of you who are in organizations that run sector/industry neutral funds, how often is rebalancing done? Also, what are some typical restrictions for stock specific weights? I am particulary interested in a small cap sector neutral portfoilio but any help would be very much appreciated.

World T. Free, if it is a strict "neutral" fund, they would target a beta of 0 probably daily. Most funds are "long/short" which more likely means the manager has discretion to be net long or net short depending on values.

5% weighting is probably a good estimate for the max exposure for a single stock, at cost.

This would be a long only fund with the goal of staying sector neutral vs the Russell 2000 will the goal of achieving alpha entirely from stock selection.
