Question 7

What is the risk of dollar cost averaging into RGA?

Accepted Answer

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

Always invest within your risk tolerance and consider your overall portfolio diversification.

Question 8

What is the Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into RGA 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 18% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying less total capital into RGA.
