Systematic Investing

How many times have you said you would take your next bonus or commission cheque and invest or save it for retirement? How many times did something happen to prevent that from happening? If the events of your everyday life keep getting in the way of your retirement plans, systematic investing may be right for you. Like direct deposit or contributions to your retirement plan, systematic investing** allows you to invest a certain amount each month - without having to do a thing.

Edward Jones has three systematic investing programs. If you have questions, or are interested in setting one up, contact your financial advisor* today.

The Edward Jones Dollar Cost Averaging Program
By investing a fixed dollar amount each month, market fluctuations can work in your favour, allowing you to buy more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high.

Dividend Reinvestment into Stocks
Many stocks distribute their earnings to shareholders in the form of a cash dividend. By reinvesting those cash dividends rather than accepting a cheque from the company, individual investors can increase the holdings in their portfolio.
