Is it better to DCA weekly or monthly? (Assuming no difference in fee)

Depends on the stock volatility.

Talk is cheap, let the data speak for itself.

​

I have did a simulation over a 5-year period, investing 1 unit every week in comparison to 4 units every 4 weeks. And the result is as attached.

​

With no difference in fee, DCA weekly smoothens out the volatility, even more, allowing you to have greater peace of mind when investing.

Take note that DCA is often recommended because it is the quickest way to put your money to work, while reducing the need to time your entry into the market.

TLDR of the article, contrary to popular beliefs, Lump Sum actually beats DCA 2/3 of the time.

No different. Assume u have 0 transaction cost.

​

Market can move 3 way (see below)

• Side way- no difference
• Trend up- u will hate yourself
• Trend down- will benefit u if you dca weekly.

However, you will not able to predict the market movement. Over long period of time, you will encounter these 3 scenerio often within a month, if u DCA consistently u will get an average return.
