How To Auto Invest and Put Your Goals on Autopilot
How to Auto Invest? Auto investing is the super-smart process of scheduling a recurring transfer from your checking account into an investment account. Setting up automatic investments helps your account grow more consistently and can help you reach your savings goals faster.
Plus, there’s no effort once your automatic transfers are set up. You don’t have to remember to pay yourself first each month; it’s automatic! You don’t have to resist the temptation either — the money goes straight to your investment account and stays out of your hot little hands.
Even better, with Auto Invest, your money automatically transfers into a fully managed MoneyLion Investment account. We take care of everything for you. You get a personalized, diversified portfolio, with no minimums or asset-based management fees.
Why Auto Investing Instead of Auto Saving?
Much like auto investing, auto-saving is an efficient way to have money from your account automatically transferred into a separate savings account at specified points in time. However, auto investing can be a much more powerful way to build wealth because your money typically grows at a higher rate than a standard savings account.
According to the FDIC, the standard interest rate on a savings account is .09%, but the expected return on a moderate investment account is typically higher. While auto-saving and auto investing are similar, we want to see your money actually grow — or at the very least keep up with inflation! So keep reading on how to set up auto investing in a fully managed investment account through MoneyLion.
How To Get Started Auto Investing
Auto Invest from MoneyLion lets you set up a plan to transfer deposits directly into your MoneyLion investment account. It only takes minutes to set up, and you pick the amount and the pace of your automatic deposits. Want to invest $10 a week or $20 a week? You got it. $25 a month? Sure! $100 a month — Go for it! The more you can set aside, the better.
With Auto Invest from MoneyLion, you can change the amount of your automatic transfer any time. So you’re not locked in. Just try auto-saving as much as you can, and you can always dial it back later. Now that you know how to Auto Invest, you just need to get started!
