Description

Buying more of a security at a lower price to reduce the average cost per share.

Averaging down is a strategy where an investor buys more shares of a declining asset to lower the average cost per share. While it can lead to a reduced cost basis, it also increases exposure to a potentially losing asset, requiring careful risk assessment.
