Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)

Updated on July 9, 2026

What is Dollar Cost Averaging?

Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy where you divide the total amount to be invested across periodic purchases in an effort to reduce the impact of volatility.

Example

Instead of investing $12,000 at once, you invest $1,000 on the 1st of every month regardless of what the market is doing.
