Plain-English definition
Rebalancing is adjusting a portfolio back toward target allocations after market moves cause drift.
Why it matters
It helps control risk and keep a portfolio aligned with its intended structure.
Beginner example
If one position grows too large after a strong run, rebalancing may reduce concentration.
Common misunderstanding
Rebalancing is a risk-management process, not a claim that the market will reverse immediately.
