FAQ

Is monthly review enough for active investors?

Use monthly as a base cadence and add event-driven reviews when thesis-critical information appears.

What metrics matter most in monthly review?

Focus on process fidelity, concentration risk, and thesis validity first; short-term returns are secondary.

Should I rebalance every month?

Not automatically. Rebalance when your predefined risk or thesis thresholds are breached.

Standardize your monthly portfolio cadence

Run this month’s review once, log one process score, and carry forward one improvement rule.
