Why You Need to Build a Simple Portfolio and Rebalance Once a Year
I'm Tyler, a former financial advisor and portfolio manager, and now I create financial content for free so you don't have to pay for it.
1. Complexity is Often a Mask for Boredom
Complexity looks smart, but usually, it means you're just bored and overthinking your investments.
2. A Few Funds Cover the Spectrum
Just three to five funds can cover the entire world of investments. This approach avoids clutter and cocktail party bravado.
3. Rebalance Once a Year
Pick a date—your birthday, New Year, or any holiday—and rebalance once a year. If your portfolio needs weekly check-ins, it's not investing; it's a need for control disguised as productivity.
