How much would I have if I DCA'd $100/week into AXS for 5 years?

What would $100/week into AXS be worth after 3 years?

Investing $100 per week into AXS for 3 years (157 purchases, $15,700 total) would have grown to $18,320 — a 17% return. Enhanced DCA over the same period returned 17%.

Question 4

Is DCA into AXS worth it?

Question 5

How many shares of AXS would I have after DCA for 5 years?

Dollar cost averaging $100/week into AXS for 5 years would result in approximately 379 shares with a standard DCA approach (avg entry $69). Enhanced DCA targeting dips results in 363 shares at an average entry of $64.

Question 6

How does AXS DCA compare to the S&P 500?

Accepted Answer

Enhanced DCA into AXS returned 50% over the past 5 years. The S&P 500 (SPY) returned approximately 53% over the same period. AXS's performance reflects its volatility as a financials asset. Enhanced DCA outperformed standard DCA by 10%, demonstrating the value of intelligent entry timing during market dips.

Question 7

What is the risk of dollar cost averaging into AXS?

Accepted Answer

Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. AXS is a financials asset whose price can fall as well as rise. While DCA reduces timing risk by spreading purchases over time, losses are still possible if the price declines significantly. Always invest within your risk tolerance and consider your overall portfolio diversification.

Question 8

What is the AXIS Capital Holdings Limited dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into AXS at regular intervals. Enhanced DCA improves on this by using RSI (Relative Strength Index) signals to increase buy amounts during market dips (oversold conditions) and reduce or skip purchases when the stock is overextended. Over the 5-year backtest, this timing approach has delivered 10% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying less total capital into AXS.
