The benefit of Value Cost Averaging (VCA) over Rupee Cost Averaging(SIP).
The basic tenant of investing is buying low and selling high. However, this principal, is
often never put to use, because fear, greed are stronger than long term investing
discipline.
What is even sadder is the public, normally buys at highs and sells at lows, which grossly
undermines returns and the investor, ends up loosing money and not being happy with the
investment decision or the financial planner.
The basic tenant of investing systematically through a disciplined and long term savings
approach would create wealth in abundance for the investor.
Value Cost Averaging (VCA), is an investment technique similar to Systematic Investing
(SIP), where investments are made systematically over a period of time, but the quantum
of investment in VCA changes depending on market fluctuation.
This ensures your portfolio value rises by a specified amount at every installment period,
regardless of market conditions.
Sounds interesting..? Read on.
VCA enables financial planners reach the desired goal amount in a more predictable
manner.
VCA fixes a target amount each month, and ensures this target amount is maintained
every month, irrespective of the market price. Therefore, the investor, buys or sells, only
those units that are required to maintain the predestined portfolio worth at each
revaluation point, which is typically every month.
Therefore, the simple principal is, in falling markets, one buys more units and in rising
markets, one buys fewer units or may even require to sell some units to maintain the
target portfolio amount.
In Systematic Investment Plan(SIP) a fixed amount is invested every month, irrespective
of the predetermined portfolio value. This is also called Rupee Cost Averaging.
Therefore, the distinctive feature of VCA over SIP or rupee cost averaging is as a rule,
VCA may also result in selling some units, to maintain the desired portfolio target, which
SIP does not do.

Therefore Value Cost Averaging helps in achieving:
1. Lower Average Cost per unit when compared to SIP.
2. Reduces Portfolio Volatility.
3. Helps achieve goal based target value.

While, this is an excellent option, most funds barring a few, do not have this unique
technique to offer investors.

The benefit of value cost averaging over ruppee cost averaing

  • 1. Dilshad Billimoria Certified Financial Planner © Dilzer Consultants The benefit of Value Cost Averaging (VCA) over Rupee Cost Averaging(SIP). The basic tenant of investing is buying low and selling high. However, this principal, is often never put to use, because fear, greed are stronger than long term investing discipline. What is even sadder is the public, normally buys at highs and sells at lows, which grossly undermines returns and the investor, ends up loosing money and not being happy with the investment decision or the financial planner. The basic tenant of investing systematically through a disciplined and long term savings approach would create wealth in abundance for the investor. Value Cost Averaging (VCA), is an investment technique similar to Systematic Investing (SIP), where investments are made systematically over a period of time, but the quantum of investment in VCA changes depending on market fluctuation. This ensures your portfolio value rises by a specified amount at every installment period, regardless of market conditions. Sounds interesting..? Read on. VCA enables financial planners reach the desired goal amount in a more predictable manner. VCA fixes a target amount each month, and ensures this target amount is maintained every month, irrespective of the market price. Therefore, the investor, buys or sells, only those units that are required to maintain the predestined portfolio worth at each revaluation point, which is typically every month. Therefore, the simple principal is, in falling markets, one buys more units and in rising markets, one buys fewer units or may even require to sell some units to maintain the target portfolio amount. In Systematic Investment Plan(SIP) a fixed amount is invested every month, irrespective of the predetermined portfolio value. This is also called Rupee Cost Averaging. Therefore, the distinctive feature of VCA over SIP or rupee cost averaging is as a rule, VCA may also result in selling some units, to maintain the desired portfolio target, which SIP does not do.
