Suppose I Bogleize my stock piece (~ 50% of total) by keeping only Total Market Index (~80%), Total International Index (<= 20%). I'd rebalance occasionally between stocks and bonds overall, and between the two stock index funds as well. I'm not looking for a value or small cap premium, just tracking.

I'm comfortable with the allocation overall but realize that I don't have much to play with in terms of rebalancing -- many of the low-correlation asset classes are lumped together in the umbrella index funds.

If I don't plan to sell off equities other than rebalancing for at least 10-12 years, should I care about not having more slices (but keeping the same overall allocation)?
