Hassle-Free, Regular Investing
Monthly Investment
Plan automatically executes your investments every month based on your
predetermined investment amount. This means that you buy more stocks
when the price is low and fewer stocks when the price is high. Your
average price per stock could potentially be lower. This is known as
Dollar-Cost Averaging. Dollar-Cost Averaging lessens the risk of
investing a large amount in a single investment at the wrong time.
An Example of Dollar-Cost Averaging*:
| Lump Sum Investment | |||
| Month | Investment Amount | Price of Blue Chip Share A | Number of Shares Bought |
| February | SGD400 | SGD1 | 400 |
| Total | SGD400 | 400 |
Total invested = SGD400
Cost per share = SGD400/400 = SGD1
| Dollar Cost Averaging Via Monthly Investment Plan | |||
| Month | Investment Amount | Price of Blue Chip Share A | Number of Shares Bought |
| February | SGD100 | SGD1 | 100 |
| March | SGD100 | SGD1.05 | 95 |
| April | SGD100 | SGD0.8 | 125 |
| May | SGD100 | SGD0.5 | 200 |
| Total | SGD400 | 520 |
Total invested = SGD400
Cost per share = SGD400/520 = SGD0.77
Monthly Investment Plan could save you SGD1 – SGD0.77 = SGD0.23 per share!
