Dollar Cost Averaging

Take advantage of the benefits of dollar cost averaging. Instead of investing a large sum of money all at once into your 529 college investing plan, invest in regular increments. By investing in smaller portions over time, you will buy into an investment package at a variety of prices. Some of them will be low, and some high. By doing this, you reduce the risk of investing all of your 529 money at a high rate. Over time, your investments will average, raising your chances of getting your best return.
