It may be possible to take advantage of asset market movements and changes in the value of the investing institution’s portfolio to implement a dynamic de-risking or re-risking strategy. The board, management and investment committee consider on a regular basis rebalancing the portfolio so that it is in line with the investing institution’s strategic asset allocation objectives.

Mechanism
Mechanism
- The performance and asset allocation of the investing institution’s portfolio should be regularly monitored with reference to the investing institution’s long-term goals. If, as a result of movements in asset markets and the value of the portfolio, or a change in anticipated liabilities, the asset allocation is no longer aligned with the investing institution’s long-term goals, the board, management and investment committee should consider rebalancing the portfolio accordingly to reflect this new situation.
- The actual asset allocation of the portfolio should be regularly monitored against the investing institution’s strategic asset allocation. The management or investment committee should make an active decision to rebalance the portfolio based on assessments regarding market conditions and the economic context.
- Where the board, management or investment committee lacks sufficient resource, expertise or governance budget to monitor and implement rebalancing, the board, or the management or investment committee with board authorization, may seek expert advice or appoint external professionals to carry out these functions.
