Well, there are many ways to achieve this, but I will explain the main methods. The basic idea of the portfolio is that it is split up by percentages with various assets holding their respective percentage. If, say, a few assets happen to experience increases in their overall value and their percentage in the portfolio, it will be necessary to go through the process of rebalancing. The first method is to sell the extra funds to generate cash that can be used to invest in the assets that have a lower than original percentage value. Additionally, an investor could take advantage of this process to increase the profitability of a certain asset by selling the underperforming portions of, for example, stock investments. Good Luck Thanks so much for article.How can you go about rebalancing? Well, there are many ways to achieve this, but I will explain the main methods.

For the first time ever I'm working for a company that offers a 401k. I don't know a lot about them, so decided to google it. Thanks for all the time you've invested in teaching others. Much appreciated! Thank-you so much for your articles. For the first time ever I’m working for a company that offers a 401k. I don’t know a lot about them, so decided to google it.

I'll have to check out if my employer match works the same way. I wonder if matching per paycheck is standard practice for most companies. That’s a great point, Phil.
