Tip of the Month

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)

DCA refers to the investment technique of purchasing a fixed dollar amount at regular schedules irrespective of the price of the shares. More shares are purchased when prices are low, and fewer shares are bought when prices are high. The advantage of this strategy is to minimize downside risk and avoid market timing anxiety. On ENV 2, you can setup a DCA schedule in the Management Options section in the Account Setup step of the Proposal Guide.

Enter the DCA info and be sure to note the disclosures.

• DCA Value – the total dollar value to be dollar cost averaged into the account
• Periodic Value – the amount to be invested periodically
• Start Date – the first date funds should be invested (default is next business day)
