Example of "Dollar-cost-averaging"
Dollar Cost Averaging
"Dollar-cost-averaging" is operated by putting fixed contribution into your investment regularly. When the market goes down, you buy more units; and when the market goes up, you buy fewer units. For a long time, the unit price that you bought would be lower than the average market unit price.
Example:
Month |
Monthly Contribution Amount |
Unit Price |
No. Of Units Purchased |
1 |
$2,000 |
100 |
20.0 |
2 |
$2,000 |
98 |
20.4 |
3 |
$2,000 |
93 |
21.5 |
4 |
$2,000 |

19.8 |
5 |
$2,000 |

Average Cost per Unit: $99.8
Average Market Unit Price: $100
In the above example, average cost per unit is $0.2 lower than the average market unit price after 5-months fixed contributions. The average fund price would be more steady and cost effective once you enjoy "Dollar-Cost-Averaging" effect, which increase your potential of return.
