Keep your risk level
Winners grow into a bigger share of the portfolio over time.
List your holdings with their current values and target percentages. The rebalancer shows how far each one has drifted and the trades that bring the portfolio back in line, either by buying and selling or by investing new money only where it is needed.
| Holding | Current value | Target % | Price per share (optional) |

Winners grow into a bigger share of the portfolio over time.
Rebalancing trims what has risen and adds to what has fallen.
Send contributions to underweight holdings.
A 60/40 portfolio does not stay 60/40. If stocks rise 20% while bonds are flat, stocks become about 64% of the portfolio, and your risk quietly increases.
Rebalancing resets the mix. Using new contributions to buy underweight assets is the gentlest way, because it avoids selling. When drift is large, a full rebalance with sales may be needed.

How much drift you tolerate before acting.
Rebalance with contributions, no sales.
Target value = (total portfolio + new cash) x target %. The trade for each holding is target value - current value: positive means buy, negative means sell.
It invests new money only into holdings that are below target, filling the most underweight first, so you avoid selling and possibly realising taxable gains.
Common approaches are once or twice a year, or whenever a holding drifts more than about 5 percentage points from its target. The drift band setting flags those holdings.
Yes. If they do not, the tool warns you and offers to scale them so they do.
No. Consider trading costs and taxes before selling, especially in taxable accounts.
