Strategy

Savings Plan (DCA)

A savings plan automatically invests a fixed amount at regular intervals into securities such as ETFs, funds or shares (dollar-cost averaging).

A securities savings plan automatically invests a fixed amount at regular intervals, usually monthly, into one or more ETFs, funds or shares. Most brokers offer savings plans from 25 EUR per month.

The main advantage is dollar-cost averaging: when prices are low you automatically buy more units, and when prices are high you buy fewer. Over time this smooths out the average purchase price.

Savings plans are a sound entry point for investors who want to invest regularly without having to follow the markets constantly.
