Long-Term Investment Guide
Consistency Is Key
Investing at regular intervals (DCA - Dollar Cost Averaging) rather than trying to time the market yields better results in the long run.
Increase Contributions
Increasing your monthly contribution annually in proportion to salary raises dramatically accelerates portfolio growth.
Be Patient
Compound returns grow slowly in early years and very fast in later years. Most of a 20-year portfolio is built in the last 5 years.
Info
Regular contributions (DCA) allow you to average out market fluctuations. You buy more units when the market is low and fewer when high. Over the long term, this strategy reduces timing risk.
If you increase your monthly contribution by 10% annually, after 20 years your portfolio can be about 40-60% larger compared to fixed contributions. This increase also helps you keep up with inflation.
It is recommended to use real (inflation-adjusted) returns. Stocks may provide 5-8% real return long-term, bonds 1-3%, deposits 0-2%. For a mixed portfolio, 5-7% real return is a reasonable estimate.
