Advantages of an Automatic Investment Plan

Manage your AIP
Disciplined Investor Bonus

An Automatic Investment Plan is one of the best ways to invest. Automatically contribute funds from a personal account to be invested in a range of investment options on a schedule of your choice (e.g., biweekly, monthly, quarterly, annually).

 

  1. Start an Automatic Investment Plan with as little as $50 a month and easily add to your plan to achieve your desired goals.
  2. Set it and forget. It's easy to automatically pay yourself first and invest consistently over the long term.
  3. Take advantage of compound interest, which really makes a difference over time.
