INVESTING STRATEGY
Investing frequncy
Hi, I'm wondering what are the advantages or disadvantages of investing every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks over the life of my investing time frame? I'm trying to come up with a strategy to limit brokerage fees as much as possible while also maximizing returns. For arguments sake, the amount will be $2,000 every 2 weeks and $6,000 every 6. Thanks!

Hey James. The first thing to note is that this isn’t as big of a deal as one might expect. If you invest the same amount per year, that’s the largest overall factor by far.
To compare different scenarios, check out the following Investment Frequency Calculator (Pearler’s got one but it seems to be playing up): https://investcalc.github.io/
I just did a test myself using some numbers including the ones you’ve given and over 10 years the difference amounts to less than $1,000 (the test was investing every 2 weeks vs 4 & 8 weeks).
So I would simply choose the frequency which you find the most enjoyable, motivating or easy! Maybe it’s investing as soon as possible, maybe it’s investing bigger dollar amounts a bit less often.
Hope that helps. Happy investing :)
