What is the Scorpio Tankers Inc. dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

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

Over the 5-year backtest, this timing approach has delivered 59% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying more total capital into STNG.
