VeriPlan DIY Portfolio Rebalancing
The VeriPlan portfolio rebalancing software performs reallocations automatically at the beginning of all projection years starting at the beginning of the second year. VeriPlan leaves your current asset allocation untouched during the first year, so that you can clearly understand how your current portfolio asset allocation differs from your full lifecycle plan. This also allows you ample time to rebalance your assets in a cost-effective and tax-efficient manner. Of course, whenever you make changes to your real life portfolio during the first year and enter those changes into VeriPlan, they will be reflected automatically in your projections.
Quicken Retirement Planner
Because the Quicken Retirement Planner combines your portfolio into a single "Investment Assets" category, it cannot rebalance across asset classes.
