📊 Rebalancing Your Portfolio
Maintain your target asset allocation by reviewing your portfolio annually.
🔁 What is Rebalancing?
Rebalancing means adjusting your investments to maintain your original asset allocation—like 60% equity and 40% debt—especially after market movements skew the ratios.
📅 Annual Check-Up Method (Example)
Original plan: 60% Equity, 40% Debt
Let’s assume ₹1,00,000 invested in Jan 2024
Asset | Initial (₹) | % Allocation | Value After 1 Year (₹) | New % Allocation | Action Needed |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Equity | 60,000 | 60% | 72,000 | 66% | Sell ₹6,000 |
Debt | 40,000 | 40% | 42,000 | 34% | Buy ₹6,000 |
Note: Equity overperformed, so sell excess and move into debt to bring portfolio back to 60:40.
✅ Steps to Rebalance Your Portfolio
- Check current values of all investments annually
- Calculate current % allocation of each asset class
- Compare with your target allocation (e.g., 60:40)
- Sell/buy units to bring it back to the target
💡 Pro Tip: Rebalancing helps you "buy low, sell high" in a disciplined way!
