Savings plan or larger one-off purchase

Due to one circumstance, I will have an amount to invest in the foreseeable future that is just as large as my current portfolio.

In this position, would you add to your current ETFs with individual purchases and keep the current amount in the savings plan the same or increase the savings plan?

50% Distributing $TDIV (-0.1%)

It's always said that all in at once is better. However, I have often missed the mark and am therefore a savings plan group.

@GoDividend thanks for your opinion, I am currently also leaning towards increasing the savings plan

@GoDividend For me, the one-off purchase at the end of 2023 worked out better than if I had invested the sum of over 250k in several tranches. It's easy to do the math.

However, I have to admit that I wasn't entirely without fear. But I was aware of the risk

@ScorpionfromBW everything can nothing must

Ultimately, everyone should do as they please and I simply want maximum success. ✅

@ScorpionfromBW is probably a matter of luck. Or if there is another major low, such as due to corona or a gentleman from the other side of the Atlantic, a large one-off purchase will probably be worthwhile

@cpfl you often only know afterwards
Just do what you feel comfortable with

@cpfl Of course there was a lot of luck involved, without question. Ultimately, you have to decide for yourself, I agree with @GoDividend

@GoDividend I was very lucky with a one-off purchase at the end of '23.
Bad luck this year in March.
Covered call ETF on the NASDAQ down almost 20%. VL contract in the savings plan on the NASDAQ up 6%.
It's just a matter of luck. But I'm more of a savings plan team now.

I would wait for a correction and then go in all at once

You could theoretically also do a mix. For example, with 100 nozzles you could put half in, and the other half in savings plans spread over 1 year or spontaneously if there are setbacks.

Take a look at this article from a short time ago: https://getqu.in/Q3mDHU/

Put half of it in now. The rest as a 12-24 month savings plan

i have noticed for myself that a one-off purchase is usually not as successful as you always read. a savings plan often doesn't feel good either, because you have no influence on the timing. sometimes it can be good, but it usually feels rather suboptimal. now i usually enter the course with several tranches, i.e. 2-3x instead of 1x.

If I were you, I would transfer the money to your trading account and set up savings plans. You will then always have enough cash to react to major corrections or crashes, but will continue to invest in your ETFs in the long term.
And depending on the broker, you may also earn good interest on your cash.
