What is the risk of dollar cost averaging into WF?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

What is the Woori Financial Group Inc. dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into WF 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 36% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying more total capital into WF.
