Rebalancing

💡 In plain English: Periodically adjusting your portfolio back to your original target split after market movements shift it.

Definition

The process of realigning the weightings of portfolio assets by buying or selling to maintain your original desired level of asset allocation.

📌 Real-World Example

Your target is 70% equity / 30% debt. After a bull market, equity has grown to 85%. You sell some equity and buy debt to return to 70/30.
