Investing amounts at regular intervals instead of choosing one entry point.

Definition

Investing amounts at regular intervals instead of choosing one entry point.

Why this concept matters

It automates saving and spreads purchase prices over time.

How it works

A fixed amount buys more units when the price falls and fewer when it rises. The average price depends on every purchase made.

What to watch

It does not guarantee a gain and may underperform investing immediately when markets rise.

Simple example

Investing €200 each month means €2,400 contributed over a year.

Example currency : France (EUR). The reference country controls the example currency.
