[How to make disciplined investment]
People's investment decisions are susceptible to emotions, so they might pursue rises, kill falls, buy high, and sell low. But automatic investment plan (AIP) is a disciplined investment implemented punctually to avoid changing long-term investment strategy due to temporary market fluctuations.
Unlike one-time investments, an AIP is a process of multiple investments with average costs. Due to that the amount of monthly investment is fixed. You will buy fewer units when a fund's price is high and more units when the price is low, which achieves the desired effect of averaging costs.
