Introduction | When to Invest
Guardian's retail broker-dealer, Park Avenue Securities LLC, offers you several brokerage account options. A brokerage account replaces the multiple account approach with a single, one-stop solution that can house all of your investment assets in one place. This includes mutual funds as well as individual stocks and bonds, all located in one easy-to-access account.
A monthly brokerage account statement consolidates your assets so you can manage them more effectively. Up-to-date brokerage account information is available, 24/7, at the click of a mouse using our password-protected website.
Regardless of which investments you initially select for your portfolio, the most important thing you can do is to invest regularly. One investing technique is called dollar cost averaging.
Dollar cost averaging is a disciplined way to invest. By investing in the same dollar amount at regular intervals, you automatically buy more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. So your cost per share can be lower than the average price per share - whether the market is up or down. Such a plan involves continuous investing regardless of fluctuating price levels of the investment.
You should consider your financial ability to continue making purchases through periods of low price levels. And you should understand that periodic investing through automatic mutual fund purchases does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
