You set up your 401(k) or investment account — maybe years ago. You picked funds. You've been contributing. But when did you last look at what's actually inside that account?

If the market has been moving (and it has), your portfolio has probably drifted from your original plan. That's where rebalancing comes in — and this week on CFO Corner, Meghan makes it make sense.


In this episode:

  • What rebalancing actually means — in plain English, with a simple example that clicks right away

  • Why it matters — how market drift quietly adds more risk to your portfolio than you signed up for, and the counterintuitive reason rebalancing helps you buy low and sell high

  • How to do it manually — exactly where to find your allocation breakdown in your 401(k) or brokerage account, when to rebalance, and what to watch for if you're in a taxable account

  • How to automate it — target-date funds, the automatic rebalancing feature inside most 401(k) plans, and robo-advisors explained in two sentences

  • One honest conversation about why people avoid logging in — and why looking is not the same as touching


This is not investment advice — it's investment awareness. And awareness is where the CFO of your own life starts.


Your action step: Log in to one investment account. Find the allocation breakdown. Ask two questions: Does this match what I intended? Is auto-rebalancing turned on?

That's it. That's the move.
