class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>So you have a lump sum to invest. What now? Do you invest it all at once or bit by bit?<\/p><p>Will inflation, interest rates and further supply chain disruption fuel market volatility this year and impact on your lump sum?<\/p><p>Fear and worry are understandable, but trying to second-guess the impact of events &#8211; or even attempting to make a bet on them &#8211; rarely pays off and understandably can deter some people from investing.<\/p><h5>What is Dollar Cost Averaging?<\/h5><p>Dollar Cost averaging (or Franc cost averaging) involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the market&#8217;s performance.<\/p><p>This means that, if you have 800&#8217;000, you would invest, for example, 80&#8217;000 a month for 10-months. Yes, even if the market is falling!<\/p><p>What this approach ensures is that you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high. The aim is to lower your average &#8216;cost per share&#8217; over time and smooth your returns by reducing the risk of buying on the &#8216;wrong&#8217; day.<\/p><h5>Creating Good Habits<\/h5><p>Investing regularly is a highly effective way to benefit from Dollar cost averaging, but also instils good habits for saving and investing.<\/p><p>This comes from either the manual process of investing each month, or the far easier automation of your investments via a Standing Order or instruction.<\/p><h5>Timing The Market<\/h5><p>Investment professionals often say that the secret of good portfolio management is a simple one &#8211; market timing.<\/p><p>Namely, this means buying more on the days when the market goes down, and to sell on the days when the market rises.<\/p><p>As an individual investor, it is likely that you may find it more difficult to make money through market timing in quite the same way.<\/p><p>Historically, the overall direction of developed stock markets has been a continual rise in value over the\u00a0<em>very\u00a0<\/em>long term, punctuated by falls.<\/p><p>It is important not to let current global uncertainties affect your financial planning for the years ahead.<\/p><p>If you do stop or pause your investment planning, particularly during market downturns when people tend to panic, you can often miss out on opportunities to invest at lower prices.<\/p><h5>Is Dollar Cost Averaging Useful If You Have Already Invested?<\/h5><p>Actually, yes. Even if you have you have already invested your lump sum, Dollar cost averaging can be useful for you.<\/p><p>Dollar cost averaging can be used by those with an established portfolio to build exposure a little at a time to certain areas, whether that be more high risk or any sectors you wish to explore further.<\/p><h5>How to Invest Your Lump Sum<\/h5><p>Dollar cost averaging is a great strategy, though is not suitable for everyone.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to creating your investment plans.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: inherit; text-align: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-3429fff ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-294aba5 ); letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">Fortunately, Patterson Mills is here to discuss your investment goals and formulating the most effective strategy for you.<\/span><\/p><p>Why wait?
