Frequently asked questions
Yes!
Markets are moving in cycles or waves (Elliott Wave Theory). Regardless of the time-frame, you can see that trending price actions are not linear.
Auto-Invest projects your investments over time, which in a sideways or bull-market will benefit from price retracements, improving your average entry price over time. Invest only as much as you can afford to not affect your daily life and stay true to your goals.
In a bear market, Auto-Invest is the easiest way to accumulate assets. Remember it is very unlikely to catch the bottom for that lump-sum investment.
Huge declines (60/70/80%) in asset price are actually good. If the asset is fundamentally strong it will rise again.
Even if you don’t see an instant result, remember that this strategy is effective in the long term.
Don’t panic and keep calm and persevere in your strategy.
Most of the Internet banking solutions offer the possibility of recurring transactions. You will need to create one to fund your Fiat account in the SwissBorg app and then configure the Fiat account as the source of funds when setting up the Auto-Invest. Timing will be important as bank transfers can take a few days to complete.
No, the Auto-Invest fee already includes the exchange fee.
Auto-Invest runs at the frequency you choose (every 30 minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). If you start immediately, the first exchange happens right away and the rest follow at the same time of day. If you pick a specific weekday and time, the first exchange takes place on the next occurrence of that slot.
The most popular execution time across the SwissBorg community is Monday between 6:00 and 9:00 CET.
