- FINRA: dollar-cost averaging opens in a new tab
Supports: DCA invests roughly the same amount at regular intervals and may reduce emotion, but it can forfeit higher returns in some circumstances and does not guarantee a gain.
- Investor.gov: allocation, diversification, and rebalancing opens in a new tab
Supports: Investment choices depend on goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance; there is no single allocation model for every person.
- FINRA: crypto asset risks opens in a new tab
Supports: Crypto assets can be volatile and illiquid, with a significant risk of total loss; an automated contribution schedule does not change those risks.
- Investor.gov: fees and expenses opens in a new tab
Supports: Fees and expenses reduce invested capital and should be considered when choosing contribution frequency and venue.
