FAQ

Dollar cost averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money into an asset at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's price. This strategy helps reduce the impact of market volatility and removes the need to time the market perfectly.

With lump sum investing, you invest all your money at once. DCA spreads your investments over time with regular contributions. While lump sum can be effective in bull markets, DCA is often preferred because it reduces the risk of investing a large amount at the peak of the market.

DCA offers several benefits: it reduces the impact of market volatility, removes emotions from investing, creates a disciplined investment habit, and can potentially lower your average purchase price over time. It's a strategy that works well for long-term investors.

DCA is not suitable for all situations. In strong bull markets, lump sum investing typically outperforms DCA. Additionally, DCA requires consistent contributions and ignores market trends. It's best suited for investors who want to build wealth gradually without worrying about market timing.

Use the DCA calculator to visualize how your regular investments would have performed on a specific asset using historical data. This helps you understand the strategy's effectiveness and plan your investment contributions. You can experiment with different investment amounts and frequencies to find a strategy that matches your financial goals.
