Automated investing

Set it once. Let it run.

Automated investing places your buys for you on the schedule you choose, so you invest steadily instead of trying to pick the perfect moment. Investing carries risk and you can lose money, including what you put in.

Set it and stay on track

Small amounts, on autopilot.

Start small

Begin from $25 a month. Raise it, lower it or skip a period whenever your budget changes.

Spread your entry

Automated buying over time means you do not rely on one price on one day. It can smooth the price you pay, but it cannot stop losses.

Keep costs clear

Commission-free ETF purchases, and a 0.5% fee when currencies must be converted. See the pricing page for every cost.

How it works

Your plan runs itself.

You choose what to invest in, how much and how often. On each date your plan places the order automatically, and you get a notification when it is done.

  • Choose a commission-free ETF or a Strategy Portfolio to automate
  • Pick an amount, from $25, and a day: monthly, every 2 months or quarterly
  • Funds come from your Uprime Capital LTD balance or a saved card
  • Pause, change or cancel in a few taps, any time
Set it and stay in control

You decide. Automation does the repeating.

No second-guessing

An automated plan takes emotion out of each buy. You can still review it whenever you like.

Full control

Change the amount, the asset or the date, or stop altogether. Nothing is locked in.

Always informed

A notification after every execution, and an alert if a payment cannot be taken.

Set up

Automate in three steps.

If you already have a verified Uprime Capital LTD account, you can have automated investing running in a couple of minutes.

  • Save a payment card, or keep funds in your account
  • Pick the asset and the schedule
  • Confirm the plan. The first buy happens on the date you chose

Automated or all at once?

Move the sliders to see an example. It compares three ways to invest the same total money on one made-up price path, so you can see the idea, not a promise.

Build an example plan

You would pay in $1,200 in total.

What the same money could have done

Illustrative only. This uses one made-up price path, not real market data and not a forecast. Real prices differ and results can be much worse, including a loss of part or all of what you invest. In a market that mostly rises, investing everything at the start often does better than an automated plan. An automated plan spreads when you buy; it does not remove risk.

Spreading purchases over time is called dollar-cost averaging. It can reduce the effect of buying at one bad moment, but it does not guarantee a profit or protect against a falling market. Read trading basics and the risk disclosure.

Figures are examples the company confirms before launch. Automated investing is not offered on leveraged CFDs: leverage and automatic repeat buying do not fit together.
