The smarter way: point new money

Direct your next contributions at the underweights and you rebalance with no selling, no spreads, and no capital gains outside wrappers.

A common discipline: rebalance when any sleeve drifts 5 percentage points from target, or once a year, whichever comes first. More often than that is trading, not rebalancing. The point is not precision; it is that rebalancing forces you to sell what got expensive and buy what got cheap, mechanically, without needing courage.
