Dollar-Cost Averaging
Investing a fixed amount on a regular schedule instead of trying to time the market.
Dollar-cost averaging means putting in the same amount every month, in good markets and bad. It removes the impossible job of guessing the perfect moment, smooths out your purchase price over time, and turns investing into a calm habit — perfect for funding a kid's account automatically.
Explain it to your kid
