Should I rebalance my portfolio?
Mint Ahmedabad
|January 19, 2026
I am 35 years old, and have been investing through Systematic Investment Plan (SIPs) in four equity mutual funds for the past 5-6 years.
Over time, my portfolio has become heavily tilted towards mid-and small-cap funds. Should I rebalance by moving some profits into large-cap or hybrid funds, or is it better to continue with my current SIP strategy? -Name withheld on requestIt is a very pertinent one and something that most investors fail to understand the ramifications of.
Over the past 5 years, which is also your time frame of investment, there have been two major cycles, i.e. 1) 2021-2024, wherein midand small caps performed spectacularly and 2) 2025 onwards, where midand small-caps performed very poorly.
Your question relates to a strategy decision: if our objective is to reduce volatility, we rebalance our market-cap allocation from time to time.
If our purpose is to maximize returns, then we let the corpus grow without any intervention.

An epidemic of pain
We've had one or all of them at some point—a frozen shoulder that requires care while sleeping, a back ache that recurs if one sits too long for a spell of “focused work”, a tennis elbow from phone or mouse use, a stiff neck that releases occasionally terrifying creaks and cracks.
