Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. RBA is a industrials asset whose price can fall as well as rise.

What is the RB Global, Inc. dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

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

Over the 5-year backtest, this timing approach has delivered 13% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying more total capital into RBA.
