Rebalancing the portfolio

The value of invested assets can change due to market movement, deposits of additional donated assets, or withdrawals from the account to make a charitable donation or pay applicable fees. As a result, the percentage of the account assets allocated to a certain investment portfolio could deviate from the allocation you had previously selected. You can rebalance the account in order to re-align the allocation of account assets to the investment portfolios you selected.
