Why Portfolio Rebalancing Matters
Your portfolio isn’t set in stone. Over time, market fluctuations can cause your asset allocation to drift, exposing you to more risk than you intended. Rebalancing brings your portfolio back to its original strategy, ensuring you stay on track with your goals.
The Role of Money Market Funds in Rebalancing
Money market funds are more than just a parking spot for cash—they can be a vital tool in portfolio rebalancing. They provide a low-risk, liquid option to temporarily hold funds as you shift between investments, making the transition smoother and less stressful.
Step-by-Step: Using Money Market Funds to Rebalance
- Assess Your Allocation: Determine how far your portfolio has drifted from your target allocation.
- Sell Overweighted Assets: Use proceeds to invest in a money market fund temporarily.
- Reallocate to Underweighted Assets: Gradually move funds from the money market fund to rebalance your portfolio.
This method helps you take your time while reducing the risk of hasty decisions.
