What is Pound Cost Averaging?

InvestingBeginner

Pound cost averaging is the UK equivalent of dollar cost averaging — investing a fixed pound amount at regular intervals. By investing £500 monthly regardless of market conditions, you buy more shares when prices dip and fewer when prices rise. It's one of the simplest and most effective investment strategies.
