Cost Averaging

Cost averaging, often called Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), is an investment strategy where a fixed amount of money is invested at regular intervals.


This approach allows investors to buy more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high.


Cost averaging helps reduce the impact of market volatility and removes the need to predict the perfect time to invest.


Many long-term investors use this strategy to build wealth consistently over time.
