Worksheet

Investment Portfolio Review Check

Review whether the portfolio is ready for routine maintenance, or whether the next pass should focus on target mix, concentration, tax location, cash needs, rebalancing rules, or coordinated review.

Portfolio ReviewConcentrationTax Location

Portfolio Review File

Build the portfolio review map

Answer each section before changing funds, selling positions, or rebalancing. The goal is not a perfect portfolio score; it is a clearer next review agenda.

Account inventory

Household view

Can you see the full investment picture?

Start with the account list before judging any one fund, stock, or account.

Goals and timeline

Purpose by pool

Does each pool of money have a clear job?

The same portfolio mix can be right or wrong depending on what the money is meant to do.

Stock, bond, and cash mix

Target allocation

Does the broad mix still fit?

Check the target mix before deciding whether any specific holding belongs.

Diversification and concentration

Household risk

Could one exposure be driving too much risk?

Diversification should be checked across the household, not only account by account.

Holding purpose and cost

Holding roles

Can you explain why each major holding is there?

Each holding should earn its place through purpose, cost, simplicity, tax fit, or planning need.

Taxes and account location

Order of operations

Could taxes change the next portfolio move?

Taxable accounts, retirement accounts, Roth accounts, and HSAs can play different jobs.

Cash needs and rebalancing

Review rules

Are cash needs and rebalancing rules clear?

Money needed soon and money meant to grow should not be mixed by accident.

Professional coordination

Before major moves

Should someone review this before major moves?

Some portfolio decisions connect investment, tax, estate, legal, employer, or compliance issues.

Portfolio Checkpoint Board

Where the portfolio needs another pass

Use this board to separate routine maintenance from allocation drift, concentration, tax friction, cash needs, rebalancing rules, and coordination issues.

Review needed

Account inventory

Most accounts are listed, but a few balances, records, or outside assets still need cleanup.

Review needed

Goals and timeline

Some goals are clear, but a few accounts or cash pools still need a defined job.

Review needed

Asset mix

The portfolio has some drift or uncertainty, but the target mix is not completely missing.

Review needed

Diversification

Some overlap, sector exposure, or single-position pressure deserves another pass.

Review needed

Holding purpose

Some holdings may need simplification, cost review, or role clarification.

Review needed

Taxes and location

Some taxable-account or account-location issues need one more pass.

Review needed

Cash and rebalancing

There is a rough plan, but cash buckets or rebalancing method could be sharper.

Review needed

Professional review

Professional review may be useful if the open items are large or connected.

Professional review signals

No single professional-review trigger is leading the result, but target mix, concentration, tax friction, account location, cash needs, and rebalancing rules should still be reviewed before major portfolio moves.

How to use this worksheet

Use the review before making portfolio moves.

  1. 01

    Start with the household view

    Look across investment accounts, taxable holdings, retirement assets, cash, and outside exposures before judging any one position.

  2. 02

    Find the first review priority

    The result names the area to clarify before selling, rebalancing, simplifying, or adding risk.

  3. 03

    Leave with a portfolio agenda

    Use the next actions to decide what to gather, what to review, and which portfolio decisions should wait for more clarity.

About this model

A portfolio review prompt, not a recommendation.

This worksheet organizes account inventory, goals, allocation, diversification, holding purpose, tax readiness, cash rules, and professional coordination into a portfolio review agenda.

The model is designed to clarify what deserves review first. It does not recommend securities, calculate taxes, evaluate legal issues, or replace investment, tax, estate, employer-compliance, or financial-planning advice.

Bring the portfolio review question into focus.

If the portfolio has drifted from the plan, review goals, target mix, concentration, tax friction, cash needs, rebalancing rules, and coordination before the next market move forces the question.
