Overview
The Rebalance Portfolio strategy in AdviserLogic’s Digital Advice Builder helps you adjust a client’s current investment allocations to better align with their objectives, risk profile and target asset mix. Rather than creating a brand-new investment recommendation, this strategy allows you to redistribute the client’s existing holdings by selling and buying assets to bring the portfolio back into balance
📌Note
You may want to model a Rebalance Portfolio Strategy in the Cashflow Module, before completing this advice. The modelling can be added to the advice to support your recommendation.
From the Digital Advice - Scenarios Screen, select the Add Scenario icon.
Select the client the advice is for, or select Joint to create advice for your client and partner. Select the type of advice (SoA or RoA), then Proceed To Scope.
Select the Rebalance Portfolio strategy from the Strategy screen and Proceed.
Select the relevant goals set and then Proceed.
Screen Navigation
The functionality of the Rebalance Portfolio strategy is identical for both Investment and Superannuation strategies.
The Rebalance screen is divided into three sections.
Existing funds - Shows the clients' existing super funds or platform investments. Additional cash funds may be added by selecting the Addition to Portfolio button.
Underlying investments - Shows the underlying investments beneath each selected platform or super portfolio.
Asset Allocation Graph - Shows how the different asset types are allocated within the selected portfolio in relation to their position in the advice: Existing, Recommended, or Strategic.
📌Note
If the Strategic bar isn't showing, this is because the client has no Risk Profile assigned to them. Find out how to assign Risk Profiles in AdviserLogic.
Rebalancing Portfolios
Rebalancing an investment portfolio, without adding funds to the portfolio, is achieved by selling funds from one or more underlying investments, you can do this by zeroing out the Proportion (%) column of the fund allocation and then clicking out of the field, the balance will show in Red under the transactions column.
Once the funds have been freed, the Rebalance portfolio button will appear, along with the remaining balance. Please note the balance must be completely allocated before you will be allowed to move on from the section.
There are three ways to allocate the remaining Balance:
Rebalance Button
Add Underlying Investments
Add Model Portfolio or SMA
Use the Rebalance button to distribute the balance equally amongst the remaining funds funds.
Alternatively, you can add either a Model Portfolio or SMA , or add individual funds from the drop-down or + Add Underlying Investments button.
Rebalance Button
The amount that has been sold will show under the Transaction column as a Red negative number
The amount available for reinvestment will show under the Recommended column with the Remaining balance column at the top of the underlying investments segment.
Return to the original values by selecting the reset button from the bottom of the Underlying Investments section.
