Keep your portfolio firing on all cylinders for the rest of 2026 using these steps

TL;DR

  • The market picture has changed significantly since January, making portfolio reevaluation essential.
  • Higher-than-expected interest rates suggest a shift towards intermediate-duration fixed income (5-7 years).
  • Rebalance portfolios by trimming overperforming tech stocks and increasing exposure to mid/small caps and international equities.
  • Utilize tax-loss harvesting to offset gains and consider harvesting capital gains, especially in a low-income year.
