Detailed analysis
Review asset allocation, goals, emergency fund, insurance, loans, nominees, tax records and underperforming products. Rebalance based on policy, not panic.
Practical example
Target allocation is 60% equity, 30% debt, 10% gold. After market rally, equity becomes 75%. Family shifts future contributions to debt rather than selling impulsively.
