45And Has Been A Winning Strategy Over Time
Since 1929, Averaging Has Outperformed the Market in Every Decade Except for the 2000’s
If an investment of $100,000 is made on the last day of a decade, what would the returns – cumulative and average annual –
look like for the following decade?
Like in the previous slide, the “buy & hold” approach represents a one-time investment of $100,000 in the S&P 500, and no
additional investments are made. The “monthly dollar cost average” approach represents and investment of $100,000 in the
S&P 500, and an additional $1000 investment is made monthly on the last day of the month.

Dollar-cost-averaging cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Because it involves continuous investment regardless of fluctuating prices, investors must consider their financial ability to continue purchases
during periods of low price levels.
