Get Started Investing Rebalancing your portfolio: what, why and how to nail it
Even the most hands-off investors need a plan for staying on track. That's where rebalancing comes in.
Markets are always moving and life is always changing- rebalancing is a simple way to keep your portfolio aligned with your goals so that you can reap the maximum benefit.
In this episode, we break down this fundamental (and underused) investing habit step by step, and share a mistake we see far too many people make. Are you one of them?
We cover:
- What rebalancing is (and how we apply it to our portfolios)
- Why it matters (shouldn’t you want your winning stocks to run?)
- How to actually rebalance (two simple methods, with pros & cons)
- How often to rebalance (and how often we do it)
- The most common mistake (and how to avoid it)
