Understanding Capital Management in AI Baskets

Effective capital management is essential for optimizing your investment strategy. SageMaster's AI Basket platform provides flexible options for adding funds to your existing baskets, allowing you to scale your investments strategically without disturbing your carefully designed asset allocations.

Methods for Adding Capital to Your Baskets

One-Time Capital Addition

The "Add Capital" feature allows you to increase your investment in an existing basket without creating a new one or disrupting your current allocation strategy.

  1. Access Your Basket:

    • Navigate to "AI Basket" in the main menu

    • Select the basket you want to add capital to

  2. Initiate Capital Addition:

    • Click the "Add Capital" button in the basket management interface

    • A modal window will appear

  3. Specify Amount:

    • Enter the amount you wish to add in your quote currency (e.g., USDT)

    • Review the amount and confirm it's correct

  4. Confirm Transaction:

    • Click "Add" to confirm

    • The system will distribute the added funds according to your current basket allocation

  5. Verification:

    • The platform will process the transaction and display a confirmation message

    • Your basket's total value will update to reflect the added capital

Automated Regular Investments (Auto-Buy)

The Auto-Buy feature enables systematic capital addition on a recurring schedule, implementing a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy.

  1. Access Basket Settings:

    • Navigate to your basket's management page

    • Look for the "Auto-Buy" section

  2. Enable Auto-Buy:

    • Toggle the Auto-Buy switch to "On"

  3. Configure Parameters:

    • Amount per Cycle: Specify how much to invest each time

    • Frequency: Choose from:

      • Daily: Set a specific time

      • Weekly: Select day(s) of the week and time

      • Monthly: Choose a date (1-28) and time

  4. Save Changes:

    • Confirm your settings

    • The system is set to invest the specified amount based on your chosen schedule.

You can adjust your Auto-Buy settings at any time:

  1. Change Amount:

    • Increase or decrease the investment amount based on your financial situation

  2. Adjust Frequency:

    • Modify how often investments occur

  3. Pause or Resume:

    • Temporarily pause Auto-Buy without losing your settings

    • Resume when you're ready to continue

Strategic Considerations for Adding Capital

Lump Sum vs. Dollar Cost Averaging

Lump Sum Addition:

  • Adding a large amount at once

  • Potentially beneficial in strongly trending markets

  • Greater timing risk

Dollar Cost Averaging (Auto-Buy):

  • Regular smaller additions over time

  • Reduces timing risk

  • Potentially lower overall returns in consistently rising markets

  • Better psychological comfort during market volatility

Market Condition Adjustments

Consider adjusting your capital addition strategy based on market conditions:

During Market Downturns:

  • Consider increasing Auto-Buy amounts to acquire assets at lower prices

  • Opportunistic lump sum additions may be appropriate for significant dips

During Strong Bull Markets:

  • Maintain regular Auto-Buy schedule

  • Consider taking partial profits on significant gains

During Sideways Markets:

  • Regular Auto-Buy combined with rebalancing can be particularly effective

Allocation Impact

When adding capital to your basket:

  1. Proportional Distribution:

    • New capital is distributed according to your current target allocations

    • Helps maintain your desired portfolio structure

  2. Potential Rebalancing Effect:

    • Adding capital may reduce the need for selling assets during rebalancing

    • Can be more tax-efficient in some jurisdictions

  3. Opportunity for Allocation Adjustments:

    • Consider reviewing and potentially updating your allocations before adding significant capital

    • Use the "Edit Allocation" feature if your investment thesis has changed
