Ah, you've caught me out.   I am currently changing about every 6 months when I find a better way of meeting my desired equity asset allocation.  In this latest change I achieved a better allocation with 2 fewer funds, which must be as far as I can go in that direction.  It's more about lock down boredom than any deep investment strategy.

Normally I would rebalance once a year just before the end of the tax year.  That is when I make major cash movements which would lead to changes in the investments.
