# /rebalance

> Analyze portfolio allocation drift and generate tax-aware rebalancing trade recommendations

## What is Portfolio Rebalancing?

Over time, a portfolio's asset allocation naturally drifts from its target as different asset classes earn different returns. If stocks outperform bonds, a 60/40 portfolio might drift to 70/30, making the portfolio riskier than intended. Rebalancing is the process of selling overweight positions and buying underweight positions to bring the portfolio back to its target allocation.

Rebalancing is counterintuitive -- it requires selling winners and buying laggards -- but it enforces the discipline of buying low and selling high. The key challenge is doing it **tax-efficiently**: in taxable accounts, selling winners triggers capital gains taxes, so rebalancing must be coordinated across account types and consider tax implications.

## Command

```bash theme={null}
/rebalance [client name or account]
```

Loads the `portfolio-rebalance` skill to analyze drift and recommend tax-aware trades.

## What It Produces

* Drift analysis table (target % vs. current % vs. drift vs. \$ over/under per asset class)
* Tax-aware trade recommendations (prefer tax-advantaged accounts first)
* Asset location review (which assets belong in which account types)
* Implementation summary with estimated transaction costs and tax impact

<Warning>
  Wash sale rules apply across all household accounts -- trades are coordinated across taxable, IRA, Roth, and spouse accounts.
</Warning>

## How to Customize

Edit the `portfolio-rebalance` skill to adjust rebalancing bands, add client-specific constraints (ESG, concentrated stock), or customize tax-aware trade logic.
