The score threshold option allows you to set a score buffer to reduce the amount of trading within your model. Score threshold is designed to limit unnecessary trading by requiring a current holding to be surpassed by a certain amount (the default is one-tenth of a point) in order for another fund to replace it. For example, with the default Score Threshold of .1, if a current holding has a score of 5.50, a fund below it would have to have its score rise to 5.60 or higher in order to replace the current holding. In our opinion, fund score differences of only a few hundredths of a point aren't enough to say we have clear preference for one fund over the other, so we would rather limit the turnover in the model and continue to hold the fund we already own.
If you want to use the score threshold function to further reduce turnover, enter a larger number than the default (greater than .1). If you want to eliminate the score threshold so holdings are sold regardless of how much it was surpassed by enter 0 into the score threshold field.
