I'm curious to understand, what exactly is meant by the term 'drift' in the context of investment? Could you please elaborate on how it affects an investor's portfolio and what strategies one might employ to mitigate its potential negative impacts? I'm particularly interested in understanding how it differs from other market movements and how investors can identify it in their portfolios.

Portfolio drift is a phenomenon that occurs when the individual securities within a portfolio undergo changes in value, leading to deviations from their original allocations over time.

This drift can be caused by various factors such as market fluctuations, economic trends, and the performance of individual assets.

For instance, an asset that initially constituted 5% of a portfolio may eventually make up a significantly larger percentage if its returns outpace those of other assets in the portfolio.

This can lead to an imbalance in the portfolio's asset allocation, potentially affecting its risk profile and overall performance.

To manage portfolio drift, investors may need to periodically rebalance their portfolios by adjusting the allocations of individual assets to restore them to their original target percentages.
