Most investors do not think methodically about asset allocation and those who do have an asset allocation do not consider re-balancing portfolio and land up exiting in panic situations. Investors tend to swing in the extreme from debt to equity or the other way round, when they should be following a balanced approach. Either of these two situations can be catastrophic to one’s investments and impact the ideal asset allocation suitable for them.
