Question 8

What is the Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into MCB at regular intervals.

Over the 5-year backtest, this timing approach has delivered 33% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying more total capital into MCB.
