GLOSSARY TERM
Auto-Invest (Recurring Investing)
Auto-invest (recurring investing) means investing money automatically at regular intervals, such as every month, without needing to place each order yourself.
What does this mean in practice?
You choose the amount, schedule, investment and the platform handles the rest. This helps turn investing into a routine. Instead of trying to guess the best time to invest, you keep adding money steadily over time.
Example
You set up an automatic investment of €100 per month into a broad ETF. Every month, the money is invested whether markets are up or down. Over time, this builds a habit and grows your portfolio step by step.
Why it matters
Recurring investing makes long-term investing simpler and easier to stick with. It reduces the need for constant decisions, lowers the risk of waiting too long to start, and supports discipline. For many people, it is one of the easiest ways (or only way) to invest consistently over the years.
