What is the concept of dollar-cost averaging in mutual funds?

Dollar-cost averaging is a strategy used in mutual funds where an investor regularly invests a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the fund's price. This approach allows the investor to buy more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high. The concept aims to reduce the impact of market volatility and potentially lower the average cost per share over time.
