“For many advisory firms, portfolio rebalancing technology is one of the single most important pieces of technology that they have.” Michael Kitces
As a result of the current economic drawdown sparked by the spread of the coronavirus, you may be rebalancing portfolios to bring them back in line with client risk tolerances and financial objectives.
In a recent article, Morningstar affirms the importance of regular rebalancing. The analysis reveals that rebalanced portfolios recover more quickly than buy-and-hold portfolios when markets rebound. As part of their research, the Morningstar team modeled portfolio performance after the two recessions of the 2000s.
The results demonstrate that rebalanced portfolios recovered 14 months faster from the dot com bust and six months faster from the 2007 financial crisis than similarly constructed buy-and-hold portfolios.
With so many clients concerned about the swings in the market, many RIAs are challenged to rebalance multiple portfolios all at once. This can be a time-intensive, manual process full of potential mistakes.
