What If The Market Crashes? Lump Sum vs Dollar Cost Averaging
Markets have had a bit of a wobble recently and with US valuations so high I often hear from people that they are worried about investing large amounts of money given the current environment. So is it better to invest all your money in one lump sum or to dip feed (Dollar Cost Average) your money over a period of time just in case markets fall? In this video, we’ll look at which strategy performs best, how things change if you are risk averse, how long to space out your investments if you decide to drip feed and ways of overcoming the fear of investing.

    You should look at the trend to know whether to drip feed or lump sum. Lump sum if the market is in an uptrend during a pull back. In a downtrend or sideways action, drip feed so you can always take advantage of lower prices.

    REITs have got even cheaper since this video was made... I think they look quite attractive now and the risk/reward play is in their favour. Very easy to find real estate companies yielding 7-8% or even higher, with progressive dividend policies that are supported by reliable income from defensive business models, which are also inflation linked. The moderation of expected rate cuts has tempered their recovery, but I these will be re-rated higher as economies slow down and the central banks finally cave in to rate cut pressure.

    Nice Video Ramin, thanks for the work that you do. I was wondering, when Im doing a small DCA several times a month from my salary (to spread market entry), is there any time of the month better than any other for doing DCA, based on long term historical data? Perhaps you have a video on this and ive missed it. I tried to get chatGPT to do this analysis for me, drip feeding into 80%+ equity funds, and it suggested there is a slight dip in valuations at the final week of each month, so I always DCA in the last week of the month... but id trust you more than chatGPT if you had the time to examine this! 😋 Like you said at the end of the video, Id rather put some money into the markets every month where possible using DCA when I dont have a lump sum saved up.

  • @Jalleur14325
    @Jalleur14325 2 дні тому

    I have tended now to do a small initial lump sum, and then a small monthly input. If markets are low, I up the amounts, and if markets are high I keep it at the minumum, or sometimes pause it for a bit once the allocation reaches the amount I wanted. I also like the drip feed, as it lets you forget about it. I have been badly burnt by trying to swing trade (with tech), so am now much more cautious!

  • @elephantandcastle838
    @elephantandcastle838 2 дні тому

    If you have inherited a lump sum its equally important to consider taxation. Inheritance, capital gains and income. In the event the sum is so large you cannot protect using the usual UK wrappers, considering gifting it (all or in part) to dependents. In you live for 7 years afterwards, there will be no extra inheritance tax liability on the sum. If you make a deed of variation within 2 years of the deceased death date, then the liability is immediately negated

    "fear of investing" doesn't vanish if you make drip feed investing, even on a ten year period. At the end of the process the value of all your investment will be the average of the purchasing prices and 100% sensible to market swings. In other words psycology, that lead to choose a mixed or all equity portfolio, makes all the difference
