Dollar cost averaging (DCA) allows you to invest a fixed dollar amount at regular time intervals in the same investment fund(s). DCA helps manage market timing risk, which in turn, could potentially lower the average price per share you pay. This may also be helpful if you are considering changing how your money is invested but want to move your account assets slowly over time.

You can set up DCA to move money monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
