Course Correct or Crash Land? The Mid-Year Portfolio Review Nobody Wants to Do

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. Is your investment portfolio still on course, or has it quietly drifted off track? In this episode, Andrew and Mitch explain why a Mid-Year Portfolio Review is one of the most valuable habits for long term investors and why waiting until the end of the year could cost you opportunities. Using the simple analogy of an aircraft making constant course corrections, they discuss how successful investors regularly review their portfolios, rebalance asset allocation, assess risk, and make informed decisions before small issues become bigger problems. This episode walks through the key areas to review, including portfolio performance, diversification, capital gains tax considerations, superannuation, cash positions, and how your investments align with your financial goals. Rather than reacting emotionally to market movements, Andrew shares a practical framework for making measured adjustments that keep your investment strategy moving in the right direction. A Mid-Year Portfolio Review is not about chasing returns or predicting the market. It is about making thoughtful decisions based on where you are today and where you want to be by year's end. If you've been putting off your Mid-Year Portfolio Review, this episode offers the insights and action steps to help you course correct with confidence. Enjoyed this episode?
