What to fix (2)

Aggressive investors maintain 80%+ equity

Major

Aggressive profiles rely on long-term equity growth; falling below 80% undermines the growth objective.

Fix: If you selected 'Aggressive', increase your equity allocation to at least 80% to capture long-term market returns.

Portfolio rebalanced within the last year

Major

Market drift can cause your allocation to deviate significantly from your target, increasing risk without your awareness.

Fix: Rebalance your portfolio now to restore your target allocation, and set a reminder to review annually or when drift exceeds 5%.
