Has the purpose, time horizon or expected use of the money changed?
Have market movements pushed major exposures far from their intended ranges?

Compare outcomes with an appropriate benchmark and the level of risk taken.
Rebalance or change only when the rationale is tied to the plan—not merely recent headlines.
