New "Balanced over every 7 year period" could work.
Number randomly chosen to be fairly short but longer than most business cycles.

Ramping up by staying balanced from the start to the present. So the first year is balanced. The first + second are balanced and so on until the 8'th year.

Cheers,
Ben
