The best of both worlds is to keep either diversified stock portfolio or ETFs, and then rebalance once a year if they fluctuate by 10% or more.

This is the system I follow and teach in my book.

This keeps you from wasting time actively trading, but it still lets you capture the bigger trends / swings.

Plonkee – that’s a very good way to measure your performance but only if you can find a retirement fund that matches your asset allocation exactly.

Typically someone might create their own comparison index by combining appropriate equity/bond indexes that match their portfolio.
