ADVICE

Stick To Automatic Rebalancing

  • Rebalance automatically and stick to the plan during long bull markets to avoid emotional mistakes.
  • Use diversified, value-tilted portfolios so rebalancing captures opportunities across regions and styles.
INSIGHT

  • The US 'lost decade' shows narrow market returns mask broader global gains when diversified.
  • Adding small-cap, value and global exposure turned a weak US decade into respectable returns.
ADVICE

  • Consider tax-loss harvesting selectively and only for material losses given superficial/wash-sale rules.
  • Remember harvesting defers taxes and only helps if future tax rates are the same or lower.
