What is the purpose of “rebalancing” a portfolio?
1. Maximizing short-term gains
2. Restoring the portfolio to its intended risk level
3. Eliminating all underperforming assets
4. Increasing the number of asset classes

Answer:
2. Restoring the portfolio to its intended risk level
Rebalancing brings allocations back to target levels, ensuring the portfolio doesn’t drift into an unintended risk profile.
