Advancing Financial Resilience through DCA: Cathay Securities’ Inclusive Investment Innovation
Cathay Securities has pioneered a transformative approach to inclusive finance through its Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) investment platform. By addressing key barriers such as limited income, low financial literacy, and risk aversion among young and first-time investors, the company has developed a recurring investment service that is both accessible and user-friendly. With industry-first innovations like daily deductions, smart adjustment algorithms, and dividend reinvestment features, Cathay Securities empowers small investors to build long-term wealth with confidence. The platform’s intuitive design, low entry threshold, and automated features make it especially attractive to first-time investors. This initiative aligns with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and contributes to reducing inequality and advancing financial inclusion across demographics, particularly among youth and women. It exemplifies how financial technology can democratize access to capital markets and foster sustainable economic empowerment.
