Details

The sub.portfolios slot is a list where each element contains the portfolio object and rebalancing parameters for the optimization of the sub portfolio. This allows, for example, each sub portfolio to have different rebalancing frequencies (i.e. monthly or quarterly), optimization methods, etc.

Each sub portfolio is optimized with optimize.portfolio.rebalancing to create a time series of proxy returns.

The "top level" portfolio is used to specify the constraints and objectives to control the optimization given the proxy returns of each sub portfolio.
