    How to Use This Template

    • 1

      Define your 'Target Allocation' based on your risk tolerance.

    • 2

      Input the current market value of all your holdings grouped by asset class.

    • 3

      Calculate the 'Current %' for each class relative to the total portfolio value.

    • 4

      Use the 'Action' column formula to identify where you need to rebalance.

    • 5

      Update your 'Closing Balance' monthly to calculate your portfolio's growth.

    Pro Tips

    • Use Excel's 'STOCKHISTORY' or 'Stocks' data type to pull real-time prices for your tickers.

    • Don't rebalance too often: Aim for quarterly or bi-annual adjustments to minimize brokerage fees.

    • Include your Superannuation balance for a true 'Whole of Wealth' view.
