What is Dollar Cost Averaging?

Simply put, DCA is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the market conditions. It means buying more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high.

 

Why Should You Know It?

 

Reduces Risk: Instead of investing a lump sum all at once, DCA spreads your investment over time, reducing the impact of market volatility.

Promotes Discipline: It encourages regular investing, helping you build a habit.

Less Stressful: No need to worry about timing the market perfectly.

 

How Can It Benefit You?

 

Smooths Out Market Fluctuations: By investing regularly, you avoid the risk of buying at the market peak.

Potential for Better Returns: Over time, you might end up with more shares at a lower average cost.

Simplifies Decision-Making: Stick to your plan and avoid emotional investment decisions.
