Rebalancing against portfolio drift

As our economic outlook remains similar to last quarter, so portfolios that were rebalanced to guard against portfolio drift (which is the deviation of each asset class from its target allocation weight).

For example, if the target allocation of equities in a portfolio is 50%, growth in the equity markets would see the proportion of equities in the portfolio grow beyond 50%. Likewise, a fall in the equity markets would see the proportion drop lower than 50%. A high drift may expose investors to more/less risk than intended, and rebalancing is required to correct this drift.
