What is Dollar Cost Averaging?

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's price. This approach helps reduce the impact of volatility and removes the stress of trying to "time the market."

Benefits of DCA

  • ✓ Reduces timing risk: No need to predict market tops and bottoms
  • ✓ Averages your entry price: Buy more when prices are low, less when high
  • ✓ Disciplined approach: Removes emotional decision-making
  • ✓ Lower risk: Spreads investment over time instead of all at once

DCA vs Lump Sum Investing

📊

Dollar Cost Averaging

Best when: You want to reduce volatility risk, don't have a large sum to invest upfront, or expect price volatility. Great for beginners and long-term investors.

💰

Lump Sum

Best when: You have a large amount to invest and expect long-term growth. Historically outperforms DCA in rising markets, but carries higher risk.
