The Value of Regular Rebalancing

Regular monitoring and adherence to fixed asset allocation targets can enhance the performance of an investment portfolio. We establish specific asset allocation targets for each client and rebalance on a regular basis to ensure that our portfolios remain on target. As markets have a tendency to revert to the mean, this rebalancing activity has added to performance in the past.
