Auto-Invest utilizes an investment strategy known as dollar cost averaging, which invests a fixed amount of money equally among predetermined intervals throughout the year. Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) aims to reduce the impact of short-term market volatility on your investment cost and reduce the price you pay per share.
How Does Auto-Invest Work?
AutoInvest makes investing in precious metals like silver and gold more convenient and less of a guessing game. It works like any other dollar-cost averaging program, but with an automation like AutoInvest, you do not need to set payday reminders.

Choose from an industry-leading selection of silver, gold, platinum, or other precious metal products to invest in. These can include vaulted and digital metals like those sold by OneGold, physical products like silver Maple Leafs and gold American Eagles.
Choose Your Ordering Frequency
Select the intervals that your AutoInvest orders are made. Choose from daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and quarterly investments, whichever frequency best aligns with your goals and budget.

AutoInvest Handles the Rest!

The Benefits of Dollar-Cost Averaging
Regular investments of a fixed dollar amount purchase more shares when the spot price is low and fewer shares when the relative spot price is high. Investing in intervals takes advantage of market fluctuations.
With AutoInvest, you will buy the same number of shares every week, every other week, every month, or every quarter. The price you pay will fluctuate based on the market. As the market changes, you may pay less or more per unit.
The advantage of DCA investing lies in averaging the cost per share and minimizing the impact of short-term market fluctuations, as well as avoiding pitfalls like trying to time an unpredictable market.
This strategy is not only useful for mitigating short-term market fluctuations but also for long-term investments. It is a methodical approach to investing and one that can be well-suited for those who are seeking ways to invest and grow while minimizing the impact of volatile markets.
