Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I rebalance?

Annual or threshold-based rebalancing (when any asset class drifts 5%+ from target) outperforms quarterly rebalancing after taxes and transaction costs in most studies.

What is the standard 60/40 portfolio?

60% stocks / 40% bonds is the traditional balanced portfolio. In 2026, with higher yields, bonds have regained their role as a true counterweight. Many younger investors use 80/20 or 90/10.

Should I sell to rebalance or use new contributions?

Using new contributions to rebalance (contribution-based rebalancing) avoids triggering capital gains taxes. Only sell to rebalance in tax-advantaged accounts (401k, IRA, RRSP) where there is no tax consequence.
