a good time

The Stash Way

How Stash takes the guesswork out of when to invest

1. Spread your money so one bad stock can't sink you

ETFs are bundles of stocks. Instead of betting on one company, your money is spread across hundreds. If one drops, the rest cushion the fall.

2. Investing anything consistently right now beats guessing when to jump in with a bigger amount

after 6 months
One-time $5,000$5,196
$50/week recurring$1,325

These are hypothetical illustrations of how an investment could grow over time.

3. Starting early is key. 'I'll start next year' has a hidden cost

Waiting 1 year could cost you ~$27,473
Start today$325,093$50/week · 30 years
Wait 1 year$297,620$50/week · 30 years

See how waiting can add up

This is a hypothetical illustration of how an investment could grow over time.

  • Recurring, automated investing can smooth out the market going up and down
  • Time in market beats trying to time the market
  • Compounding can do the heavy lifting
