Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investing strategy where you regularly put the same amount of money into an investment, like a retirement account or mutual fund, no matter what the market is doing. Instead of trying to guess the best time to buy, you spread your purchases out over time. When prices are low, your fixed amount buys more shares. When prices are high, it buys fewer. Over time, this can help reduce the risk of investing all your money at once when the market might be at a peak. DCA is often used with automatic contributions to retirement plans, making it an easy way to stay consistent and disciplined with long-term investing. It doesn’t guarantee profits or protect against losses, but it can help take the emotion out of investing and build savings steadily over time.
