How Does Automatic Rebalancing Work In Investing?

[Yusra3]

Automatic rebalancing is an investing strategy that takes your money and invests it in a diversified portfolio.

Automatic rebalancing works by automatically buying and selling investments based on your target asset allocation. When you invest, you create a target asset allocation. That target allocation is the percentage of your assets that should be invested in stocks, bonds, and cash. For example, if you have $100,000 and want to keep 100% of it invested in stocks and bonds, then your target asset allocation would be 100%.

The goal of automatic rebalancing is to make sure that after every transaction (buying or selling) your target asset allocation stays at the same percentage as before. If you sell some stocks for $5000 and buy some more shares for $5000, then when you check back in six months later your goal is that the new balance of shares purchased should be $5000 + 5500 = 5900 shares out of 5900 total shares owned before starting this exercise).

Automatic rebalancing is a technique used in investing to maintain a consistent asset allocation in a portfolio. It involves periodically adjusting the weights of the various assets in the portfolio back to their target allocation. This can be done by selling assets that have increased in value and using the proceeds to purchase assets that have decreased in value.
Rebalancing can be done manually or automatically. Automatic rebalancing is done by a computer program that is set to monitor the portfolio and make adjustments when the allocation deviates from the target. Some investment platforms and robo-advisers have this automatic rebalancing feature built-in. The frequency of automatic rebalancing can be set to whatever schedule the investor prefers, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
The purpose of rebalancing is to keep the portfolio aligned with the investor's risk tolerance and investment goals. It can also help to reduce the risk of portfolio drift, which occurs when a portfolio becomes overweight in certain assets due to their strong performance and underweight in others. By selling assets that have become overvalued and purchasing assets that have become undervalued, an automatic rebalancing program can help to maintain a more balanced portfolio.
