In the stock market, the timing of fixed investment is the standard to decide how to make a fixed investment. Under normal circumstances, the trend of stocks in bull market and bear market is different. The bull market decline on Wednesday and Friday is generally determined by weekend news, so some will choose to cash out. For a bear market, in most cases, bonuses are paid on Friday to issue new shares and bet on good news over the weekend, so many stocks closed on Friday.
Fixed investment is the abbreviation of fixed-term investment fund, which refers to investing a fixed amount (such as 500 yuan) in a designated open-end fund at a fixed time (such as the 8th of each month), similar to the bank's deposit and withdrawal method. People usually refer to funds mainly as securities investment funds.
Automatic investment plan (AIP) is called lazy financial management, and its value stems from a saying circulating on Wall Street: "It is more difficult to step on the market accurately than to catch a flying knife in the air." If you adopt the method of buying in batches, you will overcome the defects of buying and selling at one time, balance the cost and make yourself invincible in investment, that is, the fixed investment method.
Generally speaking, there are two ways of fund investment, single investment and regular quota. Because of the low starting point and simple method, the fund is also called "small investment plan" or "lazy financial management"
"Compared with fixed investment, the one-time investment income may be high, but the risk is also great. Because it avoids the influence of investors' subjective judgment on the timing of entry, the risk of fixed investment is significantly lower than that of stock investment or single fund investment.
The fixed investment of the fund is similar to long-term savings, which can spread the investment cost evenly and reduce the overall risk. It has the function of automatically increasing the price and reducing the price on dips. No matter how the market price changes, it can always get a relatively low average cost. Therefore, regular fixed investment can smooth the peaks and valleys of the fund's net value and eliminate market fluctuations. As long as the selected funds grow as a whole, investors will get relatively average returns without worrying about the timing of entering the market.
It is difficult for ordinary investors to grasp the right investment opportunity in time, and they often buy at the high point of the market and sell at the low point of the market. However, the fixed investment mode of the fund is adopted. No matter how the market fluctuates, the fixed investment fund will be fixed for one day every month, and the bank will automatically deduct the money, and automatically calculate the number of fund shares that can be purchased according to the net value of the fund. In this way, investors buy funds on schedule, and the investment cost is relatively average.
For example, if you invest 100 yuan in an open-end fund every two months, the number of shares you can buy each time is 100, 105.3, 165, 438+065, 438+0 and 108 respectively. If the cumulative share is 6 1 1.2, the average cost is 600÷6 1 1.2=0.982 yuan, and the return on investment is (1.1× 6/kloc.
