Recurring investments in Hapi

Updated over 6 months ago

What are recurring investments?

Recurring investments in Hapi allow you to automatically invest in stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. This option enables you to schedule buy or sell orders automatically, customizing the frequency, amount, and time period in which you want these transactions to be executed. This facilitates the automation and customization of your investment strategy according to your financial goals.

How do recurring investments work?

For example, you can set up a recurring investment to buy $20 worth of the "HAPIS" stock every Friday for the next 10 weeks. This way, you don't need to log into the platform weekly to make the purchase, as the transactions will occur automatically. This allows you to average prices and execute a more planned investment strategy without the need for daily intervention.

What are recurring investments for?

  • ⏱ Greater Flexibility: Decide when and how orders will be executed, adapting them to your investment style (daily, weekly, monthly). You are in control.

  • 📅 Planning investments and saving time: Establish long-term strategies and execute operations systematically without the need to log in daily or constantly monitor the market.

  • 💰 Averaging Prices: Take advantage of the "dollar-cost averaging" strategy by automatically investing at different market times.
