UOBAM Robo-Invest gives you the flexibility to top up your investments, whenever you feel it’s appropriate. You can choose between manual lump-sum top-ups to your account, or automatic top-ups via a regular savings plan.

On the UOBAM Robo-Invest dashboard, tap on “Top Up”. You can then choose one of the three methods to top-up:

1. 1. Lump-sum top-up via eNETS

   Allow for 1-3 business days for the top-up amount to be reflected in your account.

   A regular savings plan allows you to automatically contribute consistent amounts at regular intervals (e.g. S$100 per month) to achieve Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA).
   
   DCA is an approach that uses top-ups in equal amounts, but which are made regularly regardless of market conditions. DCA helps you avoid emotional decision-making on a security’s short-term performance or direction, such as panic-buying or panic-selling during highly volatile market ups and downs.
   
   By apportioning your top-ups in small sums, you can enjoy more flexibility and liquidity in managing your cash flow, without having to commit large amounts of capital at one go.
   
   When you set aside a fixed budget of say, S$100 a month, you may end up buying shares at different quantities and price per share. In the long term, this approach lowers the impact of price volatility.
   
   For example, if you set aside S$100 monthly for RSP top-up, you will end up with 100 shares of Security A when the current price is S$1 per share.
   
   But if the price happens to drop to S$0.80 next month, and you still top-up S$100, you will end up buying 125 shares. But if the price increases to S$1.20, you will end up buying around 83 shares.
   
   Over these 3 months, you will end up with an average price per share of S$0.97.

   Over the long-term horizon, Regular Savings Plan helps you reduce average investment costs and avoid the risks of timing the market. Especially for time-strapped users, you can enjoy a more hands-off approach with this automated funding feature.

How to activate a Regular Savings Plan with your Dash Wallet² (see Figure 5)

• Toggle the slider to the right, to set up your recurring top-up amount.
• Enter the desired top-up amount (from S$50 to S$100) and select the start date and frequency of the plan
• Tap “Save” once you are ready.
• Enter the One Time Password (OTP) sent via SMS to confirm your Regular Savings Plan.

You will be redirected to the “Top Up” page once done, to view your saved top-up schedule. Notifications on upcoming top-ups will be sent one day prior to the deduction date.

You may choose to stop the Regular Savings Plan at any time, or withdraw the funds, at no cost**.

²If there are insufficient funds in your Dash wallet, the recurring top-up will not be made. Dash will attempt to make the required deduction again, on the following day.

How to make withdrawals from your UOBAM Robo-Invest account

You can withdraw any amount from your current portfolio into your bank account via PayNow linked to your account. On the UOBAM Robo-Invest dashboard, tap on “Withdraw” (see Figure 2)
