It is there not doing anything until something goes wrong. Then there is a rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An annual review is the way. Once a year, two hours, a simple checks. The goal is not to make things perfect. The goal is to spot changes while they&#8217;re small enough to fix without causing problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_check_asset_allocation\"><\/span><strong>First check: asset allocation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the base. Everything else comes from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is straightforward. What percentage of the portfolio is in equity, debt and other assets. Does that match the goal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the goal is 60% equity and 40% debt and equity has gone up to 75% after a year the portfolio has more risk than planned. The fix is to rebalance reducing equity and adding debt. If equity has dropped to 50% the portfolio may be too safe for the investors time horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebalancing does not have to be exact. A 5% shift in either direction is usually fine. More than that it is worth making a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is one tax point. Rebalancing leads to capital gains. Equity gains held for over 12 months are taxed at 12.5% above \u20b91.25 lakh and short-term gains at 20%. For investors who are still building their portfolio directing SIP contributions toward the underweight asset class can be better for taxes than selling the overweight one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Second_check_concentration\"><\/span><strong>Second check: concentration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A position that was 5% of the portfolio three years ago could now be 15%. This happens with stocks that have gone up or with sector funds that did well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question to ask is whether this concentration was planned. If it was no action is needed. If it was not the investor has taken a bet than they agreed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same is true at the fund level. If three of the five equity funds in the portfolio hold the top ten stocks the real diversification is less than it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third_check_performance_against_benchmark\"><\/span><strong>Third check: performance against benchmark<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where most investors go wrong. They compare the funds return to funds or to the index without looking at the funds category and the time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correct way to compare is simple. An active large-cap fund should be measured against the 50 Total Return Index. A mid-cap fund against the Nifty Midcap 150. A debt fund against its category benchmark. A fund that did worse for one year is not a problem. Three years of poor performance with no change in strategy is a reason to take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passive funds are different. An index funds job is to follow its benchmark. Tracking error, not outperformance is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The review should also check if the fund manager has changed. A recent change with an outside hire is a reason to watch the fund more closely over the next two quarters. It is not a reason to sell away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fourth_check_the_tax_position\"><\/span><strong>Fourth check: the tax position<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thiss the part most investors ignore until March and then regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three things to check a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First the long-term capital gains exemption. Equity gains held for over 12 months are free of tax up to \u20b91.25 lakh per year. An investor with long-term gains can sell up to that amount each year and reinvest, resetting the cost basis without paying tax. Doing this year after year can save a lot over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, the loss position. If there are losing positions selling them before the year ends allows them to be used against gains and carried forward for up to eight years. This is a compliance task, not a market call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third, the holding period. A position held for 11 months and sold attracts short-term capital gains tax at 20%. Held for 13 months the same gain is taxed at 12.5% long-term rate. Waiting two months can cut the tax in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_goals_and_life_changes\"><\/span><strong>Check: goals and life changes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The portfolio is there to support something. That something may have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A goal that was five years away is now three. A target amount that was enough may no longer be, because of inflation. A new goal may have come up like a childs education or a parents medical cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The review should look at the goals, not the holdings. If a goal is now closer the allocation for that goal may need to move toward debt. If a new goal has appeared a new SIP may be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life changes matter too. A new job, a marriage, a loan or a move all affect cash flow and risk. The portfolio should match the situation, not the one that existed when the SIP was first started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_review_is_not\"><\/span><strong>What the review is not<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual review is not a forecast. It does not need a view on where the Nifty will go or what the RBI will do with interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not a reason to trade. If the review finds that nothing needs to change that is a sign. The best result is often no change all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not a single event. The first review is the hardest because it requires collecting data that is spread out. Later reviews are easier because the structure is already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_retail_investors_should_take_from_this\"><\/span><strong>What retail investors should take from this<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The review is a simple task. Five checks, two hours, a year. It finds the changes that build up and it keeps the tax position under control instead of discovering it in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The check most investors miss is the tax one. The \u20b91.25 lakh exemption, the loss-harvesting chance and the 12-month rule all offer chances that only happen if the investor pays attention at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The check most investors overdo is performance. One bad year is not a sign of a problem. Three bad years with no reason is worth looking into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. How often should I review my investment portfolio?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a year is enough for retail investors. A full review takes two hours. Reviewing often tends to lead to unnecessary changes based on short-term market movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. What is the important thing to check in an annual review?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asset allocation. If the equity-debt split has shifted than 5% from the target the portfolio has a different level of risk than planned. Rebalancing fixes this before the shift becomes a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. How do I compare a funds performance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against its benchmark and its category not against other funds or the general market. A large-cap fund should be measured against the 50 Total Return Index. A mid-cap fund against the Nifty Midcap 150. One year of underperformance is not a problem. Three years of underperformance with no strategy change is worth looking into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. What is tax-loss harvesting. Should I do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax-loss harvesting means selling underperforming positions before the year ends to use the losses against gains. Losses can be carried forward for up to eight years. It is a compliance task, not a market guess. It reduces the tax owed on gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Should I rebalance if it triggers capital gains tax?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends. Selling to rebalance creates capital gains. Directing SIP contributions, toward the underweight asset class can achieve the same result without a taxable event. For changes a partial rebalance may be needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most investors look at their portfolio the way they look at a fire extinguisher.
