Why is a Recurring Investment considered a smart investing tool? 

Thanks to a financial strategy known as Dollar Cost Averaging. 

The two primary goals of Dollar Cost Averaging are to reduce the average cost per share, and to reduce the impact of price volatility. Historically, dollar cost averaging has been a more effective strategy, especially for passive investors, than trying to time the market.
