     SMART Plan enables you to subscribe to periodic investment by investing a fixed sum on a regular basis based on your chosen interval from daily, weekly to monthly. This helps you accumulate your investment steadily and progressively.

     There are more than 10,000 US & SG stocks/ETF available for SMART Plan. The investment can be funded using the fund in your uSMART trading account, automatic e-GIRO deduction from your bank or combination of both aforesaid deduction method.

     With a fixed amount invested periodically, you can buy more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high. Over time, as you accumulate more shares when prices are cheaper, you will be able to potentially lower the average purchase price per share which known as Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA).  

     DCA is an investment strategy that may allow you to benefit from the volatile market. Because of the consistent exposure you get to the market, the idea is that you ride out the ups and downs in the long-term and benefit from the market’s upward trajectory.
