rebalancing

In financial contexts, this term describes a disciplined strategy to manage risk. It is not merely about adding assets, but specifically about selling high-performing assets and buying underperforming ones to return to a predetermined percentage split. This creates a systematic "buy low, sell high" mechanism.

In mechanical engineering, the term refers to the physical removal or addition of mass to eliminate centrifugal forces. This is a technical process used to ensure the longevity of rotating machinery by preventing destructive vibrations.
