Rebalancing is periodically adjusting your portfolio to match your target asset allocation. When stocks outperform, you sell some and buy bonds (or vice versa) to restore the desired mix. It enforces buying low and selling high.
Example
If stocks grow to 70% of your 60/40 portfolio, sell stocks and buy bonds to return to 60/40.
