A portfolio review should connect performance to purpose. Returns matter, but so do liquidity, risk, governance, and the reason capital exists.

What to review

Review asset allocation, concentration, income needs, liquidity buffers, tax considerations, governance requirements, and the quality of reporting.

For families and institutions, decision rights are as important as investment choices. People should know who can approve changes and why.

Review cadence

Quarterly or semi-annual reviews are usually enough for strategic portfolios, while liquidity and risk limits may need more frequent checks.

The key is consistency. A review framework is only useful if it is used before problems become urgent.
