What are the advantages of a regular savings / autodebit plan?

A regular savings plan is a strategic way to build assets over time. It operates on the dollar-cost averaging principle, with fixed investments made at regular intervals (typically monthly), irrespective of market fluctuations. This approach ensures that more units are purchased when prices are low and fewer when they are high, resulting in a lower average investment cost compared to the fund's average price during volatile market periods.

Over the long term, this strategy helps to smooth out the volatility of the market. Other benefits include prevention frominvesting a lump sum during theworstmarket condition and eliminates the need for “market-timing”.
