No one should expect their investments to run on autopilot and monitor themselves. That is why the most important step in the asset allocation process may be making sure you continue to monitor your allocation. Additionally, changes in your life, life marriage, divorce, a new child, serious illness or injury, may change your tolerance for risk and therefore a change to your asset allocation.
