This repository explores the topic of dollar-cost averaging strategy for investing, and how risk and return of assets could change as the investment interval varies.
We are typically interested in comparing weekly (5-day) vs monthly (20-day) investment frequency. The dataset is pulled via this python package yahoofinancials. We do backtesting by randomly sampling historical prices over a 5-year period since 2016 to construct portfolios, and use hypothesis testing to see if there's any significant difference between risks and returns over the studied period.
