210 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,920 We talked about how ETFs are tax efficient, 211 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,880 but how does rebalancing fit into that? 212 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,480 Ah, that's a great question. 213 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,600 And it's something a lot of investors overlook. 214 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,680 Okay, so let's unpack that then. 215 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,000 How does rebalancing potentially impact your tax situation?
