Been lurking for a while now and really appreciate the insight, and quality of posts on this sub. As a total novice to investing, hoping I can find some council to get me better positioned for long-term success.
Looking at long-term index fund type investing and ready to get started with putting a set $ amount toward a Vanguard or similar account each month.
Been lurking on here, bogleheads, and some other forums trying to learn and absorb as much as possible. Not trying to be clever or get into anything ‘risky’, just looking for long-term retirement potential.
As such, have Been intrigued by the various ‘lazy portfolio’ investment strategies like Ray dalio’s all weather, harry browne’s permanent portfolio and the like.
Not having done anything like this before, I’m not clear on how the actual process of annual rebalancing works for a plan such as these, when you’re talking about distributing percentages across various funds.
Can this actually be done effectively on an annual basis with a self managed vanguard account? When you’re talking about percentages of this-and-that, how can an individual do this effectively?
In other words, What does the rebalancing process look like from a practica standpoint?
Any thoughts and feedback are much appreciated as i start setting the foundation in place...
