Investment portfolios should generally be reviewed at least annually, or whenever there is a significant change in your circumstances.
Regular review helps ensure:
- Your asset allocation remains aligned with your goals
- Your risk profile is still appropriate
- Your portfolio is rebalanced after market movements
- Tax considerations are managed effectively
Even if everything appears to be tracking well, consistent review ensures your strategy remains aligned with both market conditions and your evolving objectives.
