Rebalancing may also improve your returns, since asset classes have had a tendency to revert to the mean (RTM) over time. By rebalancing, youβre selling a portion of your winning asset classes before they revert to the mean (drop in price) and youβre buying more of your underperforming asset classes when their prices are lower, before they revert to the mean (increase in value). So, youβre selling high and buying low. If you believe in RTM, rebalancing could increase your returns. Jack Bogle believes in RTM, and we do, too.
