Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)

Dollar-cost averaging is an investment strategy where an investor purchases an asset over several trades which are spaced across time.

Dollar-cost averaging is an investment strategy where an investor purchases an asset over several trades which are spaced across time. The purchases are generally evenly spaced and deploy a constant amount of dollars. !Dollar cost steadily grows a portfolio and mitigates volatility. The primary purchase of dollar-cost averaging is to lower the impact of volatility on the average purchase price of the asset. Investors who use dollar-cost averaging don’t have to worry about timing the market correctly as they will be making many different purchases with different prices.
