This word is Japanese for "accumulation."This is one of the values held dear by Japanese people for centuries. Investing continuously on a monthly basis is called various names: Automatic Investment, Dollar-Cost Averaging, Systematic Investment, etc. Such plans are well-known and have penetrated markets all over the world. In the U.S., 401K corporate pension plans, IRAs and other schemes allow many Americans to use tsumitate investing as a way to form their future assets. You'll probably find it surprising, but this type of investment has never been fully explained to the public. Its features can be summed up in one phrase: "The results of the product you invested in do not match the results of your investment."
