Don't know how to create a poll here, but here's the hypothetical..

If you feel a market crash is coming, do you:

A) Make donno, keep DCA. Rebalance portfolio at best
B) Do a profit taking now. Withdraw and keep bullets for market crash re-entry

there have been great discussion over Monthly DCA vs Weekly DCA.

(If you agree with me, please save and share this post to anyone asking whether they should monthly DCA or weekly DCA.)

I have decided to create a simulation using Excel with the following configuration:
- Annual investment: $12000
- Investment Period: 10 years (01 Jan 2021 to 31 Dec 2030)
- The daily unit price changes: Random between 5% to -4.7%

Based on the above,
Monthly DCA amount: $12000 / 12mth = $1000
4x DCA per mth amount: $12000 / 12mth / 4 deposits = $250
Weekly DCA amount: $12000 / (365.25 days / 7 days) = $230.136986
Annually DCA amount: $12000


==
For monthly Investment, I plotted a table, to compare the returns if I invest in every 1st of the month, 2nd of the month, 3rd of the month, ... , all the way to 28 of the month.
- 1st of every month
- 2nd of every month
- 3rd of every month
- ..
- 28th of every month

(I didn't go up to 29, 30 and 31 of every month, because not every month also have the date. And I think 28 days is more than enough for this experiment)

Then review the investment return by calculating the unit obtains x the unit price as of 31 Dec 2030.

So, I have 28 results for me to compare what is the different if I invest in any day of the month

==
For 4x DCA per mth, I chosen the following combination dates:
- 1, 8, 15, 22
- 2, 9, 16, 23
- 3, 10, 17, 24
- 4, 11, 18, 25
- 5, 12, 19, 26
- 6, 13, 20, 27
- 7, 14, 21, 28

So, I have 7 set of results to compare.

==
For weekly is easy, I simulate if I deposit on every:
- Sunday
- Monday
- Tuesday
- ...
- Saturday

I also have 7 set of results to compare

==
For Annually, I didn't want to create 365 sets of result, so I only invested on every 1st of each month
- 1st Jan
- 1st Feb
- 1st Mar
- ...
- 1st Dec

So, I have 12 returns to compare

==
BONUS!!

I also simulated daily DCA! Yes, daily!
Daily DCA amount: $12000 / 365.25 days = $32.85421

========================

P/S and conclusions:
- of course, this is just a simple simulation, it does not take in all variables in the real life stock market
- The results are also predictable and expected:
-- Since I have fixed observation date (31 Dec 2030), the earlier I invest will get more time for the power of compounding
-- weekly DCA does not guarantee better returns. It is only means your DCA is more average than monthly DCA.
-- the daily DCA returns is lower than average of other DCA frequency due to the same reason, many of the deposits doesn't have enough time for the power of compounding
-- conclusion, it doesn't really matter if we are DCA daily, weekly or monthly.
-- The more frequent you deposit, doesn't guarantee the better returns; it is means your dollar cost averaging is more averaging than others.
-- for investment in stashaway, time in market is better than time the market. So, just monthly/weekly/daily DCA as you wish.

Hi guys. My current High Risk portfolio (36%) is US denominated. However, I have recently helped my Dad set up his portfolio as well (36%), however his asset allocation is quite different from mine and is also denominated in GBP.

Can anyone help explain why is that so?

Hi Grummpy,

I wanted to check in and make sure you know about one of the ways you can unlock free investing with StashAway.

Did you know that for each friend you refer, you and your friend get up to RM30,000 managed for free for 6 months? And, you can refer as many friends as you want. One of our customers has even referred StashAway to 255 friends!
Refer a Friend
Here’s how it works:
To get free investing, share your unique referral link through the button above. Once your friend makes a deposit (of any amount) within 30 days, you both get RM30,000 managed for free for 6 months.

There’s no limit for how many friends you can refer at any one time. So, if you refer two friends, you’ll get RM60,000 managed for free for 6 months. Referring three friends? RM90,000. I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but you could have free investing all the time if you refer enough people regularly enough!

Yours in investing,
Michele
Co-Founder and CEO

Hi guys i notice for SA Simple Vs Versa many suggest versa as it can withdraw quicker. What if i put my emergency fund in 18% risk index since SA etf can withdraw in 3 days consider similar to versa, currently not many forum in facebook or LYF to discuss about versa. I check on the statement sheet it also shows that SA simple have higher returns than versa just that the downside really is long withdrawal time
