Accepted Answer

Enhanced DCA into FTI returned 638% over the past 5 years. The S&P 500 (SPY) returned approximately 53% over the same period. FTI's performance reflects its volatility as a energy asset.

Question 7

What is the risk of dollar cost averaging into FTI?

Accepted Answer

Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. FTI is a energy 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 TechnipFMC plc dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into FTI 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 318% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying less total capital into FTI.
