I saw a similar topic in German discussions, but Google Translating the supplied solution is not very satisfactory.
I have more than one asset in some asset classes, and I’d like to assign different weights for rebalancing. For example, I could have an asset class named “World Indexes”, containing VWCE ans SWDA. I’d like to assign, say, 60% to VWCE and 40% to SWDA in the Weight field, but if I do, the rebalancing is totally wrong.
Actually, I found out that the weight field has a slightly different meaning: it is used to calculate how much of each asset value should be used to determine the total asset class value, instead of the percentage of each asset I WANT TO KEEP inside the asset class!
The only way I found to achieve this is creating one asset class for each asset, and keep the asset weight to 100%…but I find this a workaround and not very logical.
Will you fix it in a future release?
When you put two (or more) securities into the same category, you state that those securities are equivalent and interchangeable to you. Each of them is as good as the other to cover this category. If that is not how you feel about them, you need to put them into different categories.
The idea is that you have two categories such as “developed markets” and “emerging markets”. Then you would put the FTSE All-World 90% into the first category and 10% into the second, but the MSCI World 100% into the first.
No, there is nothing to fix.

Ok, but my suggestion is to write it clearly in the reference manual…not really intuitive to me.
Feel free to improve the manual.
