Dollar-Cost Averaging If you were to invest $500 each month for 5 months* (total of $2,500) Number of Month Share Price Shares Purchased1 $4 125 2 $2 250 3 $5 100 4 $20 25 5 $10 50 Total $41 550 Share’s average market price = $8.20 ($41/5) Your average cost = $4.55 ($2,500/550) *Dollar-cost averaging is most effective over a long period of time. Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market. It involves continuous investments in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. Investors should consider their financial ability to continue their purchases through periods of low price levels. This is a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only.
