What is Regular Savings Plan (RSP)
?
A Regular Savings Plan (RSP) is a disciplined investment approach that allows you to set aside a sum of money and invest a fixed amount at regular intervals into stocks or mutual funds (unit trusts).
Through RSP, you automatically adopt a strategy known as Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) purchasing more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. This helps smooth out market fluctuations and reduces the risk of investing a lump sum at the wrong time.
Beyond just saving, an RSP allows you to benefit from the power of compounding. By reinvesting dividends and staying invested over the long term, your money has the potential to grow exponentially, helping you achieve financial security and wealth accumulation more effectively than traditional savings alone.
Start small, stay consistent, and let time and compounding work in your favour!
Dollar Cost Averaging
By investing a fixed amount of funds consistently every month over a period of time, dollar cost averaging benefits you regardless of price fluctuations. You purchase more units when the price is lower and fewer units when the price is higher
Month | Investment | Price Per Unit | Unit Purchased |
1 | $100 | $3.49 | 26 |
2 | $100 | $3.59 | 26 |
3 | $100 | $3.47 | 26 |
4 | $100 | $3.43 | 27 |
5 | $100 | $3.38 | 27 |
Total | $500 | $3.47 | 132 |

Unit Trust RSP is an investment plan that offers a consistent and disciplined means of investing into a particular fund.
It adopts the concept of dollar cost averaging whereby more units are bought when prices are low and lesser units when prices are high. As a result, in times of fluctuating markets, the average cost for all the units can be lower than the average price during the same period.
