I'd be very interested to read the study, but the only text I've found so far is this: https://investor.vanguard.com/investing/online-trading/invest-lump-sum https://investor.vanguard.com/investing/online-trading/inves...
It seems logical to me that lump sum investing > dollar-cost averaging (which is why I do the former), but I'd be curious to see empirical research.
