If you're sitting on cash that you plan to invest you have a few options: 1. Invest a lump sum. 2. Dollar cost average. 3. Wait for a "good time" to invest. We wanted to know what works best on average, at market peaks, and after recent market volatility. Results were 🤯. ↓

While we did not model it quantitatively, there are potential psychological impacts from investing a lump sum. Investing a lump sum and then watching the market decline could be challenging. Entering the market over time with DCA may mitigate this psychological risk.

Something that is not discussed enough is that if DCA is necessary from a psychological perspective to deploy cash into an asset allocation, the asset allocation may be inappropriate. If you can't handle investing a lump sum today, how will you behave once fully invested?
